Just back from Hisonaru, 10mins away from Fethiye. Stayed in area few times since 90's.
Fethiye is very much 'bustling' compared to years ago, wouldn't choose to stay in the town now.
Hisonaru is inland and very 'tacky' imo. I stayed there for Aqua Park 2mins down Rd (food/drink extortionate, but park good).
Olu Deniz beach close by is awesome but can get busy, but due to expansion in area, traffic can be a right pain unless you go early morning.
Calis beach is OK, but that's all it really is, around the bay from Fethiye, which is a marina, unless you stay at the nice hotel around other side of the bay.
Elsewhere for beach, look at Icmeler....around bay from Marmaris, nice quiet place with decent beach, all noise is in Marmaris. Was a good, but quite a while back I stayed there though.

Icmeler is absolutely brilliant
 
Back from 5 nights Sorrento... Thought that was expensive till I had a day trip to Capri.
Blue grotto was great and lovely scenery but the prices were ridiculous there.
Pompei and Vesuvius trips were amazing .
Had a day trip to Naples whilst waiting for our flight . Was very pleasantly surprised, has wonderful view over the bay of Naples and whilst there's obviously Sketchy areas, after what Id been told I imagined get robbed as soon as we got off the train... would actually like to spend a few nights there to see what its really like .

We visited from our hotel in Pineda de Mar a few years ago. Some good historic stuff including a fabulous city wall to walk. But 5 or 6 hours was more than enough. Can’t imagine spending a whole weekend there.

Whereabouts are you going? Been 4 or 5 times the last few years. Land of legends is worth a day out. Waterpark and rides there.

Take some Ukrainian flags and plant them on the beach to annoy the fuck out of the ruSSians

Capri is a joke now, spent my honeymoon there 22 years ago, amazing, went again last year, thankfully on a day trip and it was unrecognisable, mass tourism, tacky as fuck, getting ripped off in a cafe/bar, couldn't wait to leave !!

If you can do a day trip to the land of legend's theme and water park its well worth it , brilliant day out. Last time I went met Nicky Weaver and watched the FA CUP final with him.
