The highly requested detailed guide for a self-drive car rental on Turkey's D400 highway

The promised guide for a self-drive on Turkey's D400 is here❗️ I enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the D400 in the past few days, the Mediterranean is just too beautiful! Many people asked for car rental tips and things to note for self-driving⚠️ 👇I'll share the details in this guide, I suggest reading and memorizing the whole text❗️ 1️⃣Car Rental 🔸I booked online in advance, you can use any domestic platform 🔸Passport, domestic driver's license, translated driver's license, foreign currency credit card 🔸Manual transmission is cheaper, returning the car in a different location is more expensive, we paid 550 (including insurance) for 3 days💰 2️⃣Pick-up and Return 🔸The distance from Antalya to Fethiye is not far, we chose Antalya Airport for pick-up and return, saving about ¥1000 on the fee for returning the car elsewhere 🔸When picking up the car, check the fuel level, take a video of the car body, and confirm the condition of the car 🔸When returning the car, refill the fuel to the same level, and hand over the car after confirming there are no issues on the spot 🔸The car rental company offers a 🆓 ride to the airport 3️⃣Parking and Refueling 🔸Most of the attractions along the D400 offer free parking 🔸Search for 'otopark' for parking lots 🔸There are many gas stations, our total fuel cost was 400💰 🔸Full-service refueling, cash and credit cards are both accepted🉑, and they even clean your car for free 4️⃣Driving Safety 🔸Common signs are seen 🔸No right turn on red❗️This is different from domestic rules 🔸There are many bends on the mountain roads from Ölüdeniz to Kaş, and Antalya is prone to traffic jams due to heavy traffic 5️⃣Self-Drive Route 🔸Counterclockwise is closer to the sea: Fethiye-Kalkan-Finike-Kaş-Antalya 🔸Our route: ▪️D1 Pick up car in Antalya-Aspendos Ancient Theatre-Xanthos Ancient City, Temple of Apollo-🏨Kaş ▪️D2 Stroll around Kaş town, Antiphellos Ancient Theatre-Xanthos Ancient City Ruins-Kaputaş Beach-Butterfly Valley-🏨Ölüdeniz ▪️D3 Ölüdeniz Beach-Kalkan town-Stop and check-in along the way at will-Return car in Antalya 6️⃣Essential Scenic Spots Along the Way ✔️【viewpoint oludeniz】Overlooking Ölüdeniz, the beach is unrealistically beautiful ✔️【konul plaji】A must-visit heart-shaped rock cave ✔️【butterfly valley】The glass sea under the cliff, extremely beautiful ✔️【kaputas plaji】The most beautiful cliff beach ✔️There are also many unknown spots that are very beautiful!

Ölüdeniz in Fethiye is truly a piece of paradise on Earth. The famous Blue Lagoon is even more stunning in person than in pictures. The water is an incredible shade of turquoise and is so calm and clear that it's perfect for a relaxing swim or paddleboarding. For adventure seekers, paragliding from Babadağ Mountain is an absolute must. Soaring over the lagoon and the coastline is an unforgettable experience; the views are simply breathtaking. We also took a daily boat trip, which was a fantastic way to explore hidden coves and swim in the open sea. In the evenings, the main promenade at Belcekız Beach comes alive with great restaurants and a relaxed, happy vibe. It can get quite crowded, especially during the peak summer season, but the place's sheer beauty more than makes up for it. Whether you want to relax on a stunning beach or seek adventure in the sky, Ölüdeniz has it all.
