Is Cafe Park Teras our favourite terrace bar in Fethiye?

Well, having been enjoying its views and tipples since its opening in 2010, it’s probably fair to say that that is indeed the case.
We like to wander around the myriad of feeding and watering holes around Fethiye but there’s always the old faithfuls that keep drawing us back time and again.
Cafe Park Teras, Fethiye
Cafe Park Teras is an out-and-out terrace bar.
Unlike other terrace bars in Fethiye, such as the lovely El Camino, it sits atop a tall building that’s home to a pharmacy at ground level and units on each of the subsequent floors.
Enter the building and you feel like you’re going anywhere except a bar!
There’s A Lift!
Eek, so what happens if you’re not much into dragging your weary legs up numerous flights of stairs?
Not the most attractive option if you’ve just walked off the busy street in the Fethiye summer heat.
Ahh, well, never fear because there is the Cafe Park Teras glass lift to carry you all the way up to the 4th floor.
If you’re not too brave with heights, you can stand facing the doors.
Otherwise, enjoy watching the ground floor of this block become more distant as you pass each landing, climbing closer and closer to your destination…
The Cafe Park Teras Of Yesteryear
This photo below? We’re leaving this here as a little piece of history.
This is what Cafe Park Teras looked like in 2011, back when we wrote this original post.
Pigeon Fanciers
Each year, Cafe Park Teras owner, Tayfun, makes some improvements or changes so that the bar just gets better and better.
When we first came up here in 2010, we were sharing the space with a fully-occupied pigeon coop!
This space is family-owned and dad, now sadly passed away, was a pigeon fancier.
The pigeon coops are no longer a part of the space of Cafe Park Teras. But, occasionally, there used to be the odd one that would come back to visit and perch itself along the perimeter railings of the bar.
Cafe Park Teras – Those Fethiye Views
But what is the main reason many of us love to make the effort to get ourselves up to rooftop bars like Cafe Park Teras?
Height often means ‘views’ and, amongst its many selling points, the stupendous views across Fethiye bay have got to be the main pull for most visitors to this bar.
Street Views
But the street views are equally captivating.

Cafe Park Teras is situated right on the corner of the harbour, opposite the entrance to the big Tuesday market and commands some of the best views in town.
Sit at any of the tables along the edge of the terrace and you can find yourself rooted there for hours, gazing at life in Fethiye going on down below.
Let your eyes be lead along the palm-lined harbour and out over town, towards the mountains beyond.
(For a bit of perspective, the green-roofed seating area jutting out into the sea in the photo above is Hello Büfe.)

Listen to the beeping horns of the Fethiye traffic as it stops and starts at the pedestrian crossing.
Watch people rushing, ambling, sitting – you’re unseen up here. This is your world.
Turn your head in the opposite direction and you can also get a glimpse of the ancient Amyntas Lycian rock tomb carved from the cliff face.
Perfect Bay View Vantage Point
In the summer months, you can look out over the bay and watch the Fethiye day trip boats, luxury yachts, gülets and the Çalış water taxi coming and going whilst you sip your drink (and enjoy some bar food).

This place proudly boasts 270 degree views.
What’s On The Cafe Park Teras Menu?
First things first, if you’re someone who likes an open kitchen, you’ll be pleased to know Cafe Park Teras boasts one of these.
The Food
As for the menu, it’s bar food. Think burgers, wraps, pizza and the like.

In days gone by, if you fancied a pizza, it was ordered in from one of the famous pizza chains.
These days, however, the pizzas are made on-site and they’re great for sharing over a few drinks.
And speaking of sharing, if you want to get messy, you could also order the buffalo chicken wings to share.

Sticky and messy and lovely – and delivered with a side of gloves if you don’t fancy the ‘messy’ bit.
There’s also a range of smaller snacks, toasties, pasta dishes and salads on offer, too.
Time To Drink
Alcoholic and soft drinks, milkshakes, teas, coffees. It’s a bar. There’s lots of thirst-quenching choice here.
We’re beer (and wine) drinkers but this is also a cocktail bar. So you’ll find lots of choice on the drinks menu.
I’m just not a cocktail person.

But we got married at Cafe Park Teras in May 2025 and I treated myself to a mojito.
That’s as adventurous as it gets for me.
If there’s a few of you, check the menu for set deals to make your time there a tad more economical.
We usually get a ‘beer bucket,’ for example. The bottles are served in an ice bucket and the waiter will open them for you as and when. Or, if they leave a bottle opener (as they often do), you can open them whenever you like.
There are sometimes deals on shots, too, as well as combo deals such as ‘pizza & beer’ or ‘pizza & cola’ – that sort of thing.
More Room For Friends
In the spring of 2022, Cafe Park Teras closed its doors for a few weeks whilst the guys did some changes to the layout.
And what we have now is a much improved space where everyone can enjoy themselves.

This means more room for bigger groups of friends – should you be sharing beer buckets and bar snacks.
The extra room also means space for a pool table and a stage – look out for DJ sets and live music events.

Thanks a lot for your comment, Lynn. Yeah, Cafe Park Teras was the Sesa Hotel. Now part of Sesa Iş Merkezi (offices). Cafe Park Teras's owner's family own the building. :)
