Ölüdeniz

One of Turkey’s most famous and photographed beaches, with crystal clear turquoise waters and gentle lapping waves, where the line between the sea and sky blends into one. Mother Nature’s finishing touch was to surround this ‘heaven on earth’ with a spectacular mountain and pine forest backdrop. At the far end of the beach you will find the ‘lagoon’ set inside a national park area. Not visible from the open sea the lagoon is very sheltered with still, warm waters, absolutely perfect for those looking for a bit of escapism! Further along from Ölüdeniz is another beach called ‘Kidrak’, quiet and secluded with a woodland area perfect for picnics
