All Inclusive Yaka Holidays – Mountain-Cool Days above Fethiye – Discovering Yaka

Yaka is a tiny hillside village in the Seydikemer district above Fethiye – think pine-clad slopes, cold springs, and trout farms rather than beach clubs. You won’t find large all inclusive hotels in Yaka itself. The draw here is nature: the ruins of Tlos, the icy waters of Saklıkent Gorge, and the famous YakaPark trout terraces. Tlos sits just above the Xanthos valley, while Saklıkent forms one of Turkey’s deepest canyons; both are classic day trips from the coast.

From Fethiye’s marina to Yaka’s mountain air is roughly a 38 km drive – about 45 minutes. Dalaman Airport to Fethiye is about 45-60 minutes, then you continue inland to Yaka.

All Inclusive Yaka Holidays - Mountain-Cool Days above Fethiye - Discovering Yaka

The Setting: Ruins, Gorge, and Green Shade

Days up here are simple and scenic. Walk the acropolis and rock-cut tombs at Tlos, cool off in Saklıkent National Park, and linger over lunch in the tree-shaded platforms of YakaPark – a regular stop on jeep safaris from the coast.

Where the “All Inclusive” Bit Comes In

Base yourself by the sea for full resort comforts, then day-trip to Yaka for the mountains and antiquities. Around Fethiye you’ve got several genuine all inclusive options:

  • ✔️ Club & Hotel Letoonia, Fethiye – private peninsula, multiple pools and restaurants, All Inclusive  Plus board.
  • ✔️ Liberty Lykia, Oludeniz (and Liberty Lykia Adults-Only) – big-ticket all inclusive  with private beach, pools and a la cartes on the Turquoise Coast.
  • ✔️ Jiva Beach Resort, Çalış – chic lagoon-side all inclusive  with multiple pools, 24-hour lounge and family facilities right on the beach.
Stay seaside for the buffets, bars, pools and kids’ clubs; spend one or two days inland for Yaka, Tlos and Saklıkent. It’s the Cheap All Inclusive Holidays way to enjoy mountain-cool adventures without giving up resort ease.

What You’ll Do in and around Yaka

  • ✔️ Tlos ancient city – amphitheatre, fortress and Lycian tombs on a dramatic ridge.
  • ✔️ Saklıkent Gorge – boardwalks and (in summer) wading through a 300 m-deep canyon; rafting and tubing in season.
  • ✔️ YakaPark – trout lunches, waterfalls, shady koşk seating; often paired with Tlos and Saklıkent on tours.

Who Will Love It

  • ✔️ Families based in Fethiye resorts who want a soft-adventure day out.
  • ✔️ Couples chasing quiet mountain air and sunset views back on the coast.
  • ✔️ History fans and walkers mixing ruins, gorges and coastal paths.

Getting There

  • ✔️ Fly to Dalaman (DLM). Private or shuttle transfers to Fethiye typically take 45-60 minutes; Yaka is a further mountain drive inland.
  • ✔️ Coast-to-Yaka drives and organised Tlos-Saklıkent-YakaPark day tours run from Olüdeniz, Hisaronü and Çalış.

The Takeaway

Yaka itself is not an all inclusive resort spot – and that’s the charm. Sleep by the sea in a true all inclusive  hotel like Letoonia, Liberty Lykia, or Jiva Beach Resort, then head inland for ruins, rushing water and trout lunches. That balance – resort comfort plus authentic day-trips – is exactly how Cheap All Inclusive Holidays turns a mountain village into part of a seamless, carefree escape.
