Ölüdeniz
Discover Ölüdeniz, the world’s favorite for swimming and water sports with its crystal clear turquoise sea, white sandy beach and the sun that never fails to shine…
The lagoon is a famous (perhaps the most famous in Turkey) beach area located in Ölüdeniz to south of Fethiye, with a pretty nice lagoon seperated from open sea by a sandbar. The Blue Lagoon resembling a dead sea with its stagnant water and sheltered structure, Kumburnu National Park and Belcekız Beach offer you a holiday in a natural paradise view that you cannot easily get enough of.
To reach this piece of heaven on the earth takes about 45 minutes away by dolmuş. Note that the local dolmus does not leave from the otogar but nearby in front of the red PO petrol station where there is a small bus shelter.
The road from Fethiye to Ölüdeniz through the pines is 14 km. At the end of the hilly road, you suddenly come across a magnificent blue. This is Belcekız Bay. When you walk along the sandy beach stretching through the bay, you see the unique Ölüdeniz. Oludeniz is like magical, it just stands still. There is not even a single moss on the bottom, it is covered with white sand. The light refracted by the water and the sand at the bottom gives it a turquoise color. The shadow of the pines falls on Ölüdeniz and enriches this impressive turquoise.
It is also the starting point of the cable car ride that reaches the unique Babadağ view. You can also watch this beautiful view from the sky with paragliding by leaving the Babadağ runway area. In addition to paragliding, other activities you can do are various sea sports, boat tours, canoeing and sea biking, nature walks and rock climbing.
