Ölüdeniz (Blue Lagoon)

Discover Ölüdeniz: A Natural Paradise Near Fethiye

Located just 14 kilometers from the center of Fethiye, Ölüdeniz is one of the most famous and photographed destinations in Turkey. Nestled between the lively towns of Hisarönü and Ovacık, this stunning coastal resort is home to the world-renowned Ölüdeniz Lagoon, often referred to as the “Dead Sea” due to its incredibly calm waters.

A Safe and Relaxing Getaway for Families

The calm, shallow waters of the lagoon make it a perfect place for families and children to enjoy the sea in complete safety. The beach is lined with comfortable beach clubs, offering sunbeds, cafes, and facilities for a relaxing day by the water.

A World-Famous Destination for Paragliding

Towering behind Ölüdeniz is Babadağ Mountain, standing at nearly 2,000 meters above sea level. It is internationally recognized as one of the best paragliding spots in the world. Thrill-seekers can take off from its summit and glide over the turquoise lagoon, enjoying panoramic views before landing on Belcekız Beach, just steps from the promenade.

Activities and Nature at Your Fingertips

In addition to its natural beauty, Ölüdeniz offers a wide range of outdoor activities such as:

• Boat tours to nearby bays and Butterfly Valley

• Scuba diving and snorkeling in crystal-clear waters

• Stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking

• Hiking on the Lycian Way, one of the most scenic trekking routes in the world

Sunsets, Cuisine, and Coastal Charm

As evening falls, the beachfront transforms into a peaceful yet lively area filled with bars, restaurants, and cafes. Visitors can enjoy local and international cuisine while watching the sunset over the sea — a truly unforgettable experience.
