My Home in The Sun - Turkey

Oludeniz is situated only 10 minutes from Fethiye and is one of Turkey's most famous and photographed areas. Its beaches have been adorning many travel magazines and brochures, with crystal clear turquoise waters and gentle lapping waves, where the line between sea and sky blend into one.

 At the far end of the beach to the right you will find the 'lagoon' set inside a national park area.  Not visible from the open sea the lagoon is very sheltered with still, warm waters.  Mother nature's finishing touch was to surround this heaven on earth with a spectacular mountain and pine forest backdrop.

The main resort and hotels are restricted to an area to the left on reaching the beach area and stretch back about 1 km from the beach, there are however some camps sites dotted around the lagoon area.

During the summer months many well stocked mini-markets, gift shops, and many bars, cafes and restaurants offering both local and international cuisine catering for every taste.  There is a local market on Mondays in Hisaronu just off the main Hisaronu/Oludeniz roundabout where you will find many bargains; there is also a fresh vegetable and fruit market.

There are a  good selection of local trips and excursions including local island boat trips, jeep safari (from Fethiye) horse riding through the mountains and forests to Kaya Koy (Ghost village from Ovacik) and for the more adventurous paragliding from Babadag mountain or Micro lighting (from Ovacik) and some water sports are available at Oludeniz.

 Oludeniz comes alive after dark with its many gift shops, lively bars, some with live entertainment and of course many restaurants catering for every taste.  Some hotels during the summer season offer 'Turkish Nights' and traditional entertainment.
