Accommodation within Olu Deniz:

The breathtaking natural beauty of Olu Deniz has made it probably the most famous beach in Turkey. The resort has been developed in recent years, and offers all the essential ingredients for a fantastic holiday, including a good selection of lively restaurants and bars.
Location:
Olu Deniz lies 16km to the south of Fethiye, and enjoys a stunning location surrounded by soaring mountains.
Beaches:
The main attraction of Olu Deniz is undoubtedly its long crescent-shaped swathe of coarse sand, shingle and pebble beach known as Belcekiz Beach. It sweeps around the bay to form a spit of sand, which separates the open sea from the cobalt blue waters of the lagoon. The lagoon area has not surprisingly been designated a National Park, and charges a small entrance fee to visitors (although access to Belcekiz Beach remains free).
Leisure:
The beachfront is the place to head for in the evenings where you'll find an excellent choice of restaurants serving both local and International cuisine, bars, music bars and beach bars. Evenings are pretty laid back but the atmosphere can get pretty lively, particularly in high season. For a treat you should try the excellent seafood restaurant set on the hillside above the resort, where the views are every bit as good as the food.
Transport:
Getting around is easy and cheap on the local dolmuses, which run in the daytime and in the evening to Fethiye, and to the developing resort of Hisaronu, which enjoys a mountain setting 4km from Olu Deniz.
