Olu Deniz Things To Do

Beach
An extraordinarily beautiful beach at Olu Deniz remains one of the finest beaches in Turkey and it’s a must for anyone looking for the perfect beach holiday retreat. With its turquoise lagoon boasting warm shallow waters, this protected National Park is ideal for relaxing sunbathing and swimming, and the stunning mountain backdrop only adds to the charm. It also provides a host of restaurants and bars so you can wine and dine as well as living the beach life!

Water Sports
A holiday in Olu Deniz offers a great selection of water sports, from kayaking, pedalos, water skiing, sea biking and wind surfing.  If its scuba diving you are looking for, you can go to Fethiye, where there are a number of diving schools.

Sailing
Olu Deniz and Fethiye offer boat trips up and down the coastline, with popular trips including the 12 islands and the village of Gocek. You could also take a Gulet cruise, which is a good way to see the sites and views from the sea.  Take a sunset cruise, or a day out snorkelling, or if you want to live the life of luxury, why not unwind on board a fully-catered gulet.  This is a great experience.

Activities
Olu Deniz is extremely popular with parascenders, paragliders and hangliders, who come for the wonderful views, and the fantastic conditions created by the stable winds and gentle sea breezes. Take the challenge by leaping from the 1,950m peak of Mount Babadag and eventually landing on the pristine white beach of Olu Deniz. 

Walking & Cycling
If you enjoy walking or cycling, this is the ideal spot for it.  You could take the coastal paths or the marked trails that lead up into the mountains.  The villages of Hisaronu and Ovacik are very pretty and worth a visit.  There are also more extreme paths to follow that run through the canyons and forests.  There is some fantastic wildlife to be seen in this area.

Horse Riding
You can go on organised horse riding trips along the country tracks, and there are a few companies that can help you with this on a holiday in Olu Deniz.  Either choose a guided tour or ride a horse along the seafront!  This is a great way to enjoy the scenery, and great for a day out.

Day Trips
Fancy a day out?  There are lots of place you can go from Olu Deniz.  How about visiting the mud baths at Dalyan, or visit the famous turtle beach?  You could hire a jeep safari, and visit the sights of Ephesus and Pamukkale or a day trip to Rhodes.  You could visit the hidden city of Saklikent Gorge, or canoe down Xanthos River.  Whatever takes your fancy.
