Olu Deniz flights and travel guide

The Mediterranean resort of Olu Deniz is situated just a few minutes drive from Fethiye and has an astonishing crystal-clear lagoon and a beautiful photogenic grey-white beach that adorns almost every Turkish travel brochure. Despite being developed with many hotels and apartment blocks, the scenery here is spectacular and the town is a lively place to spend a holiday. Perched on the mountain plateau overlooking Olu Deniz, the resort town of Hisaronu is packed with bars, nightclubs, gift shops and restaurants. With their beautiful, rugged surrounds, both Olu Deniz and Hisaronu are fast becoming realized for their potential as an outdoor activity destination: the beach at Olu Deniz offers a huge variety of watersports, there is paragliding from Babadag Mountain onto the beach below, and a selection of boat trips depart regularly from Olu Deniz or Fethiye for a day exploring the scenic coastline. The numerous paths that wind their way along the hillsides offer spectacular views and sights, including the fascinating "Greek Village", which was evacuated during the Turkish-Greek war of 1919-1923.

Olu Deniz Travel Information

• If your long flight to Olu Deniz has you feeling a little lackluster, head to nature’s own spa – the Dalyan Mud baths. Located near the ancient rock tombs of Caunos, the sulfur springs will make you look and feel 10 years younger. Take a dip in the salt water, where you’ll see the nesting place of the Caretta Caretta turtles. Their large, round heads, and brown shells compliment their huge bodies, spanning 3-4 feet in length. When you’re done in the water, take to the air and parasail for an experience that will completely rejuvenate.
• Strap on your life jacket and helmet for the ride of a lifetime. As soon as you climb in the raft, you’ll be overwhelmed by the river’s vibrancy and movement. Even rookies are welcome, as professional guides will do all the work and let you sit back and enjoy the tumultuous adventure. Cruise through rapids, mountain scenery, and traditional villages as you move with the Dalaman River at exciting speeds. Overnight camping trips are available as well, so book flights to Olu Deniz today to experience a thrilling water expedition.
• If you couldn’t bring your bike on your flight to Olu Deniz, fear not: you can rent one as soon as you get there. The trails are a mixture of little-used asphalt roads, and backcountry pathways that bend, narrow, and wind. Spectacular scenery spans as far as the eye can reach, and you’ll pass authentic mountain villages along your jaunts of the Mediterranean coast. Make a day trip out of it to complete your Olu Deniz travel.
