Mermaid sculptures at Fethiye, Turkey

April 2, 2022 By Mermaids of Earth Leave a Comment

3 life-size mermaid sculptures feature prominently at the Club & Hotel Letoonia in Fethiye’s harbour, near the south-west corner of Turkey.

One is close to a small lighthouse and the club’s waterside patio, located where it can be seen with a welcoming gesture to every boat entering the Fethiye harbor.

Two other mermaid statues are on the property at the bottom of a stairway. All three are clearly based on the same model.

Fethiye is near the southern edge of the Aegean Sea and has an abundance of Greek history and culture, so its Greek mythology theme fits well here. 

It is a popular summer tourist destination and has fabulous culture, environmental beauty and very rich history influenced by the Greeks, the Persian Empire and the Ottoman empire.

See the other mermaid sculptures and additional photos on the Fethiye Mermaids Page.
