About 15 km south of Oludeniz (and 30 km south of Fethiye), Faralya was known simply as the ”village on the cliffs of the Butterfly Valley“ until recently, when travellers start to take a deeper look to the village. The village itself is quite a pleasant sight to see, with its houses and gardens cascading towards the cliffs of the Valley.
Faralya is officially named Hisar Mahallesi (quarter) of Uzunyurt (a ”village“ actually made up of 4–5 seperate hamlets as these hamlets don't have enough population to make them officially declared to be villages), though just ”Uzunyurt“ almost always refer to Faralya. However, almost nobody but the officials use this name and the village is always referred to by its ancient name of Faralya whether it be by the minibus signs or travel agencies.
