Ferah Pansiyon (Fethiye Pension) is a family-run budget guesthouse in the Çarşı Mahallesi (Bazaar Quarter) of Fethiye, a coastal city in Muğla Province, Turkey, situated on Fevzi Çakmak Caddesi close to the heart of the town's traditional market district. The property occupies a modest residential building offering single, double, and triple rooms at some of the most competitive rates in the Fethiye area, making it a popular choice among independent travellers, backpackers, and budget-conscious visitors exploring the Turquoise Coast. Rooms are simply furnished with air conditioning, en-suite or shared bathrooms, and ceiling fans. A rooftop terrace provides communal space for guests to socialise and enjoy morning views over the Fethiye roofscape and the distant bay. Breakfast is included in the rate and is served in the guesthouse dining room, featuring a traditional Turkish selection of tea, white cheese, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, and fresh bread. The guesthouse's location in the bazaar quarter places it within minutes of Fethiye's main attractions: the Ölüdeniz boat tour departure point at Fethiye marina, the Lycian rock tombs carved into the cliffs above the old town, the weekly Tuesday market, and the ruins of the ancient Telmessos amphitheatre. Ölüdeniz — Fethiye's signature natural landmark — is approximately 15 kilometres south, accessible by dolmuş from the central bus stop a few minutes' walk away. Dalaman International Airport is around 50 kilometres east of Fethiye. The pension is particularly popular with solo travellers and those using Fethiye as a base for sections of the Lycian Way long-distance trekking route, which passes through the hills surrounding the city.

Tips for visiting
- The rooftop terrace is the best communal space — visit early in the morning for the views before it heats up after 09:00
- Dolmuş to Ölüdeniz depart from the central dolmuş station about 10 minutes' walk away — services run frequently from 07:00 to midnight in summer
- Fethiye's Tuesday market is one of the largest in Muğla Province — arrive before 09:00 for the freshest produce before the crowds build
- The Lycian rock tombs are most atmospheric in the early evening when they catch the last light; the walk up from the old town takes 15 minutes
- Keep a note of the guesthouse address in Turkish when taking taxis — some drivers are unfamiliar with Fevzi Çakmak Caddesi by its full name
