Oludeniz is a popular beach only thirty minutes away from Fethiye. Ölüdeniz is one of the only lagoons of Turkey. Proximity to Fethiye, Butterfly Valley, Hisaronu, Babadag, and Lycian Way puts Oludeniz to a very special place among the destinations of our country. From paragliding to hiking, sailing to scuba diving; Oludeniz is a very special resort town in the Republic of Turkey.

Where is Oludeniz?

Oludeniz is a district of Fethiye city. It is located by the Aegean Sea in the southwest of Turkey. Oludeniz beach is only 17 kilometers from Fethiye city center.

You can reach Oludeniz after a one-hour scenic drive from Dalaman airport. Oludeniz is approximately 3 hours away from popular destinations such as Antalya, Pamukkale, and Bodrum.

What is special about Oludeniz Lagoon?

Like many other lagoons, Oludeniz is also formed on a shallow coastline with a constant freshwater source in the background. Today, while the Aegean waters can be rough in winter due to the winds, Oludeniz Lagoon will be peaceful like a sofa bed. The lagoon is supplied by many underground water sources which creates a constant flow of freshwater to the Aegean Sea and salty water into the lagoon.

What to do in Oludeniz?

Oludeniz is a very nice beach with pebble stones. While you can rest and fresh up at the beach watching the paragliders spinning on you, you can easily arrange the same for you as the gliders will be landing on the Oludeniz beach frequently during the course of the day.
