Fethiye in one coast afternoon: three stops, one logic
Old Town lanes, fish-market harbour edge, then Kayaköy if you still have legs — without a boat-tour sales pitch.
Fethiye sells boat tours hard. This afternoon ignores the pier salesmen and sticks to walkable texture: lanes, harbour market energy, and one hillside ghost town if energy allows.

Lanes → harbour market → Kayaköy only if legs remain.
Old Town first
Start in Fethiye Old Town while shops are open and shade still works. Keep it to lanes and lunch — not a checklist of every souvenir street.
Harbour market as the reset
Walk the fish-market harbour edge next. This is the breath between inland heat and whatever you do after.
Kayaköy only if legs remain
Kayaköy ghost village is the stretch goal. Go if you want stone silence after the harbour; skip if the afternoon already felt full. The day should end clean, not exhausted.
Lanes, water, then silence — only if you still want a third beat.
