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.
