Local area/activities
Fethiye is the largest town in the area and is a 15min ride away on the dolmus Set between wooded mountains and a wide blue bay, it is a bustling market town with plenty of shops, restaurants and cafés, on Tuesdays it boasts the biggest market in the area, some of the best bargains are to be found here. The area is full of small traders and workshops that will fix anything. The cobbled streets are packed with shops and bars, full of life by day and night. The Paspatur or old town is charming. Visit the weekly market or stroll along the marina and enjoy its rustic charm. There is a vast array of boat and fishing trips from here. A place not to miss is the fish market, you can by your fish from the daily catch and have it cooked by one of the surrounding restaurants, excellent value. Leaving Fethiye to drive up the mountain on the road that leads to Olu Deniz, not only do you take in the beautiful scenery but also on a hot summers day you can notice a welcoming difference in temperature. The first area you pass through is Ovacik, where our villa is located, this village straddles the main road with mount Babadag to the left, it's a fairly quite location with a selection of restaurants and shops. For trekkers the Lycean way starts here. A little further along[about 2kms from villa] is Hisaronu village. This resort is lively with many shops, restaurants and bars catering extensively for the needs of all age groups. This is a good place to book for the many trips and activities available in the area. About 2kms down the winding road from here, and for those who want somewhere more laid back, there is Olu Deniz which has the most photographed beach in Turkey. Here you will be able to find a variety of good restaurants and bars with a more relaxed atmosphere than Hisaronou. There are water sports available from the beach i.e.- water skiing, Para sailing, scuba diving, snorkelling, speedboat hire, pedaloes etc. For the braver of you there is paragliding from the top of Babadag Mountain, landing on the white sands of Olu Deniz beach. If you prefer a more relaxing day on the water there are a selection of boat trips available from both Olu Deniz and Fethiye. Olu Deniz beach sweeps round in a vast crescent of sand and shingle to the stunningly beautiful and world famous Blue Lagoon which is a national park. Activities available locally Paragliding / Quad bike safari Sub aqua / Microlite flights Horse riding / Walking Mountain biking / Bird watching Boat trips / Paracending Speedboat hire / Pedaloe hire Fishing trips / Banana rides Jeep safari / White water rafting
