His friend Deniz Bayramo\u011flu decided to found a facility here, to be able to protect this natural beauty and legislate the laws which can save the valley. Deniz Bayramo\u011flu and his friends took responsibility to protect the Butterfly Valley in Turkey, and they aimed to create a lifestyle that is compatible with nature, rather than a chaotic urban life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In that sense, the facility now provides camping areas, tents, and wooden houses for accommodation, the activities in nature. The facility can host nearly 700 people at once. However, the usage right belongs to the facility, so even if you bring your tent, you need to have permission and pay a fee for them. Moreover, the facility organizes workshops, about personal growth, such as meditation, yoga, handcrafting, philosophic communes, and Islamic mysticism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides, the facility conducts some projects about ecological agriculture, purification, sea-cleaning, and clean energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_318\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-318\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-318\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/How-was-Butterfly-Valley-in-Fethiye-discovered-1.jpg\" alt=\"How was Butterfly Valley in Fethiye discovered\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/How-was-Butterfly-Valley-in-Fethiye-discovered-1.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/How-was-Butterfly-Valley-in-Fethiye-discovered-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/How-was-Butterfly-Valley-in-Fethiye-discovered-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/How-was-Butterfly-Valley-in-Fethiye-discovered-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/How-was-Butterfly-Valley-in-Fethiye-discovered-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/How-was-Butterfly-Valley-in-Fethiye-discovered-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/How-was-Butterfly-Valley-in-Fethiye-discovered-1-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/How-was-Butterfly-Valley-in-Fethiye-discovered-1-1068x601.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-318\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">How was Butterfly Valley in Fethiye discovered<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Information_About_Butterfly_Valley_in_Oludeniz\"><\/span><b>The Information About Butterfly Valley in \u00d6l\u00fcdeniz<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are multiple reasons to call this valley a natural beauty. First of all, Butterfly Valley hosts 80 kinds of butterflies, especially the jersey tiger. These butterflies can be seen from mid-April to the last days of May. If you visit the valley outside of that period, you may not see the butterflies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second reason is that the bay of the valley is a perfect place for swimming. The beach has white pebbles, and sun lounges and umbrellas are available to use. The sea has a color like turquoise and deep blue. Also, it does not get deeper suddenly, so we can say the sea is shallow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since it is a natural wonder, the experts generally investigate the flora and fauna here. Experts say that 105 butterfly species belonging to 15 families are living here. Likewise, there are 147 flora species around the area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_319\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-319\" style=\"width: 2400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/What-to-do-in-Fethiyes-Butterfly-Valley-in-Turkey.jpeg\" alt=\"What to do in Fethiye\u2019s Butterfly Valley in Turkey\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/What-to-do-in-Fethiyes-Butterfly-Valley-in-Turkey.jpeg 2400w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/What-to-do-in-Fethiyes-Butterfly-Valley-in-Turkey-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/What-to-do-in-Fethiyes-Butterfly-Valley-in-Turkey-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/What-to-do-in-Fethiyes-Butterfly-Valley-in-Turkey-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/What-to-do-in-Fethiyes-Butterfly-Valley-in-Turkey-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/What-to-do-in-Fethiyes-Butterfly-Valley-in-Turkey-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/What-to-do-in-Fethiyes-Butterfly-Valley-in-Turkey-150x84.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/What-to-do-in-Fethiyes-Butterfly-Valley-in-Turkey-696x392.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/What-to-do-in-Fethiyes-Butterfly-Valley-in-Turkey-1068x601.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/What-to-do-in-Fethiyes-Butterfly-Valley-in-Turkey-1920x1080.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2400px) 100vw, 2400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-319\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">What to do in Fethiye\u2019s Butterfly Valley in Turkey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_in_Fethiyes_Butterfly_Valley_in_Turkey\"><\/span><b>What to do in Fethiye\u2019s Butterfly Valley in Turkey?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In that corner of heaven, there are many choices to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Swim in Butterfly Valley<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Swimming in this calm and shallow turquoise water should not be missed. The sea is clean and bright. There is a facility to meet your possible needs here. The sea is between the high cliffs, so it gives an amazing view for visitors.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Watch the butterflies<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Different kinds of butterflies are living here as communities. You should see them in their period, for example from mid-April to the end of May. In that period you can see many butterflies flying around. If you visit there out of season, you may not see them. The most seen butterfly is the Jersey tiger butterfly. To be able to not scare the butterflies, keeping quiet and not making sudden moves are strictly advised.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Visit the waterfall<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This little waterfall is a little bit inside the valley, close to the Faralya Village. The waterfall is a great example to discover the beauty of the valley. Swim or getting under the waterfall is allowed, the water is cold, unlike the hot and dry Mediterranean climate. The waterfall has a little creek, which reaches the sea.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Do camping or stay for a night<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Through the facility here, camping is allowed to do, besides, the facility gives a tent and a place to prepare the tent.

Green mountains, the deep blue sea, and the clean beach create a nice background for your photos. Furthermore, climbing up the cliffs is common practice for tourists.
