Lebessos Restaurant and Wine House.

Perched just below the haunting ruins of the abandoned village of Kayaköy, Lebessos occupies the former residence of a wealthy Greek merchant. The stone-walled setting manages to be both atmospheric and unpretentious, offering a quiet escape from the coastal buzz of Fethiye. While the historical backdrop is a primary draw, the kitchen maintains a reputation for high-quality, straightforward execution, specifically focusing on premium cuts of steak and ultra-tender lamb. Meals here are defined by abundance and fresh ingredients, often concluding with traditional tea in the courtyard. It is an ideal spot for those who prefer their dinner with a sense of place, blending the region's complex cultural heritage with a menu that prioritizes substance over modern fusion trends. The extensive wine list further anchors it as one of the area’s more refined destinations.
