beaches in Turkey

by Nicky. A,

With its turquoise waters and beautiful pebble beach, Oludeniz is a place of incredible beauty. There is something here for everyone, from water parks to paragliding, from boat trips to beach bars. Here are some of the things your should do if you ever come to this part of Turkey.

1-Visit Oludeniz Beach

Better known as the Blue Lagoon, the incredibly still waters and the awesome beauty of the surrounding vista makes this stretch of beach a regular on lists of best beaches in the world.

2-Grand Ucel Aqua Park

Staying on a watery theme, this is a fantastic place to visit for those with children or those wishing for a spot of adventure on the various water slides at the park. There is a hotel situated next door, but it is possible to visit the park for day trips.

3-Kayaking from the Blue Lagoon to Gemille Beach

Get out on the still waters with one of several guided tours. Probably the best way to see the coastline and the surrounding mountains. Most tours provide several rest stops for swimming along the more deserted stretches of beach.

4-Fethiye Market

The place to grab some bargains! All manner of high street brands are for sale, from perfume to belts. Get yourself a nice pair of sunglasses or a souvenir for a loved one. The market is easily accessible via Dolmus minibus.

5-Take a jeep safari

An English speaking guide will take you around some of the outskirts. You’ll get to see the beautiful village of Tlos, some of the lesser visited beaches and a trout farm. A professional photographer takes pictures for you which can be bought after the tour, so you can cherish the memories for ever.

6-Enjoy a cocktail and watch the sun set

There are many beachside bars that have the perfect view of the sunset. Why not sit back, relax, and enjoy a drink as the sun slowly dips below the horizon?

7-Try your hand at Paragliding

The big thing to do in Oludeniz in Paragliding. People visit here from all over the world for the opportunity. The sheer grandness of the panorama and Mount Babadang’s height, which makes it a perfect platform for Paragliding, makes this a must for anyone brave enough to take the leap. There are tandem Paragliding packages available for those wishing to take a trip with an experienced instructor.
