Fethiye - Olu Deniz |
| |
|
 |
Fethiye is a small holiday resort that
overlooks a superb bay strewed with
small islands. The site has become very
popular for beach holidays and yacht
cruises. Telmessos: not much has
survived of the Ancient Telmessos except
some 20 rock-cut Lycian tombs. The most
beautiful is that of Amyntas and dates
back to the 4C BC. It is in the form of
a Ionic Temple with two Ionic columns.
Most of the tombs are of the
houses-types reminding the Lycian wooden
houses. Kaya Köy is a ghost village that
should not be missed. The village was
deserted by Greek people after the great
exchange of population at the beginning
of the century.. The Dead Sea (Ölü
Deniz) is a sheltered lagoon, almost
totally cut off from the sea, where
there is a beautiful long sandy beach |

OLU DENIZ (DEAD SEA)
The world famous and one of the most
beautiful wonders in the world Oludeniz,
worths travelling miles and miles, for
the turquoise blue waters wonderful
lagoon. The crysyal pure water of
Oludeniz is so clean that it is almost
cleaner than the water you drink at home
-if we omit the salt-. Oludeniz consists
of two parts: First part is Belcekiz or
Belcegiz which lies too long through the
bay to the lagoon. This part is the wavy
part of Oludeniz. The second part is the
real Oludeniz with the lagoon inside.
This part is the calm and shallow part.
Oludeniz is 12 km. from Fethiye. Here,
with all kinds of water sports (canoe,
surf, skiing, banana, parashute), you
can also play beach-volley.
All along the Belcekiz beach, -a bit
more expensive- you can find everything
to eat and drink. The bars and
restaurants are everytime ready for your
service. The place which is called the
Blue Lagoon is a National Park, which is
fee-payed passing. Again, there are lots
of things to eat, drink, and again, full
of entertainment like water sports and
beach volley, showers and WC. Besides,
Ölüdeniz, is one of the most ideal
places in the world for Paragliding. To
make this sport, you don't have to be
experienced. All you have to do is, to
choose which company to fly with, among
lots of the agencies including Turkish
Aeronautical Association. If you don't
have a licence to fly, you will have
your first experience with a licenced
and experienced pilot. The pilots do
everything for you. All you have to do
is just to enjoy the beauties of
Ölüdeniz and take lots of photographs
from 1400-1700m. height. The flight
takes about 30-45 mins. |
