Olu Deniz – Southern Turkey’s Best Kept Secret

You won’t find a more picturesque beach anywhere in the world than Oludeniz’s stunning blue lagoon. Oludeniz is quite simply a photographer’s paradise, yet this beautiful resort remains relatively quiet compared to other busier Southern Turkey resorts like Bodrum and Marmaris.

Situated just a 45 minute drive from Dalaman Airport, the resort itself is as laid back as the calm turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. A few shops, bars and restaurants are scattered among the friendly hotels, while the nightlife is relatively low-key and mostly centered around the cafés and bars that surround the lagoon.

Things to do

The most popular activity in Oludeniz is quite simply lazing on the beautiful beach with a good book and an ice cold drink for company, but if you’re feeling particularly active then you’re also well catered for. The resort is great for diving, mountain biking, sailing, paragliding and even horse riding.

Catch October’s Air Games Festival

If you’re considering booking cheap flights to Turkey’s Southern coast in late October then you might want to visit Oludeniz’s spectacular Air Games Festival. It features skydiving, base-jumping, aerial acrobatics displays, competitions and much more. The Air Games Festival takes place from October 26th-30.
