The Property — Murat Apart
Murat Apart is a no-fuss base in central Fethiye, offering self-catering studios and apartments close to the marina and Friday market. The lobby feels more like a modest holiday let than a hotel – practical, clean and functional, with a small reception desk and a noticeboard of local taxi numbers. It suits independent travellers and families who want kitchen facilities and a central location without paying for a swimming pool or on-site restaurant.
Chronicles of Mugla
Fethiye was founded as the Lycian city of Telmessos, named after a son of Apollo, and its cliff tombs still witness the ancient past. After the population exchange with Greece in 1923, the town absorbed Anatolian Greek refugees, which reshaped its culture and architecture. The devastating 1957 earthquake levelled most Ottoman buildings, so today's Fethiye is largely post-1960s concrete, but the old marina and harbour keep its Mediterranean soul. Contemporary Fethiye balances tourism, agriculture and a growing British expat community, hosting the annual Fethiye International Culture and Art Festival each June.
Best Time to Visit
Full Mugla guide →Best months
May, June and September – warm sea, sunny days, lower humidity and far fewer crowds than July–August. Ideal for hiking the Lycian Way or sailing the coast.
Peak / festival surge
July and August – school holidays bring families from Europe and the Middle East. Prices at Murat Apart can double; expect full occupancy. The Fethiye Festival in June also spikes demand.
Budget shoulder season
April, October and early November – hotel rates drop 40–50%. Weather is still pleasant for sightseeing, though the sea is cooler. Good for quiet walks along the harbour.
Weather & packing
Fethiye gets occasional but intense summer downpours despite the dry season. Pack a light rain jacket or foldable umbrella, even in July.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Murat Apart, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing the rear courtyard. These are above street-level noise and away from the main road traffic on Gazi Ekrem Kaz Caddesi.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street — the address on Gazi Ekrem Kaz Caddesi is a busy thoroughfare in Mugla town, so cars and pedestrians will be audible from early morning.
Best views
From the 3rd floor, you may get a partial view over Mugla’s rooftops towards the mountains, especially if the room has a small balcony. The street-facing rooms will just see the pavement and passing vehicles.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 (the top floor) are quietest — less street noise and no foot traffic from the lobby. The building appears to have 3 floors (no lift mentioned, which is common for a 3-star in this area).
🔊 Noise notes
Gazi Ekrem Kaz Caddesi is a main road in Mugla’s centre — expect delivery vans and scooters during the day. The hotel has no bar or restaurant on-site (typical for a 3-star), so late-night noise is limited to street activity.
Insider tips
1. If you arrive by car, ask at check-in for free on-street parking directions — Mugla has some designated spots nearby but they fill fast. 2. Request a room on the 3rd floor for better ventilation: windows open to catch the breeze, as air conditioning in this older building can be weak.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
