When choosing a location of the hotel, we focused primarily on the relief around and remotely from everything that can be described as a noisy, dirty, muddy, flat. Rested in Fethiye in 2009. I will say honestly, and my husband and I got exactly what you wished: silence, calm, crystal clear sea, mountains around. The hotel ordered a transfer from the airport in Dalaman. The hotel was in a small bay, there were no more hotels. From Fethiye about 15 - 20 kilometers (for taxis 25 minutes).
The Beach was most pleased, or rather, the absence of his usual embodiment: pontoons, stony bottom without sand. Transparent water and livestock in the sea has become a wonderful reason to swim with a mask and a tube. We grabbed them with you on the trip.
In Fethiye, I am very advised at least once for a tour of the sea on a yacht: beautiful scenery of the rugged mountain coast and the sea opens with the deck. The city itself is a pleasant, defined exotic for me created numerous islets in combination with the city, houses and a long monkey.
By the way, from the resort of Fethiye is much closer to Pamukkale than from Antalya. The road is not so tedious.
