There are hundreds as it's a huge area. One right on the doorstep of Fethiye is Cadianda.

Do a search for the following - like Fi says there is so much within a short drive:

Xanthos
Letoon
Myra
Tlos
Patara
Pinara

But that's just scratching the surface. Heading further afield (but still within 2-3 hours drive near Antalya) my personal favourite, Aspendos:

Kevin
I advise you to go to Ephesus. It is not in Mugla and not very close. 3 hours drive from Fethiye, but worth for it. You can see the place where Mother Marry lived her last years also, they are very close to eachother.

we adore Ephesus - a fantastic trip (but not in July / August - when it is toooooo hot to wander around and overrun with tourists !).  Off season it is wonderful, and then a few miles further on you have Pamukale - stunningly weird place.
