 BLUE
LAGOON
Olu Deniz takes its name from the beautiful blue lagoon located
a few hundred yards from the main town.
The beach itself stretches for several miles, but the most
popular section is the lagoon with its stunning backdrop of
mountains and pine forest.
This area has been designated a National Park and there is a
small entrance charge, but it is well worth paying - there are
shaded areas suitable for picnicking, showers and snack bars.
The seafront is crammed with provision stores, bars and
restaurants, many with roof terraces perfect for enjoying the
sunset and the wonderful views.
 BUTTERFLY
VALLEY
Butterfly Valley is a breathtaking Mediterranean "gorge" a
few kilometers southeast of Ölüdeniz, near Fethiye.
Yachts on day cruises drop anchor here for a swim in the quiet
cove, and yachts often come ashore to enjoy the sand beach.
Rustic tree houses rent beds at rock-bottom prices. There are
few services--but then, the rustic life is the point here.
If you hike the Lycian Way, you'll pass above Butterfly Valley
(Kelebek Vadisi) and get this fantastic view of the valley, the
beach and the blue Mediterranean.
 KABAK
KOYU
Like Butterfly Valley, this is a relatively untouched bay. Once
there, you can trek through the pine forest to the waterfalls
and/or you can swim in the bay in relative silence.
A small restaurant serves lunch that is included in the price of
the excursion. The bay is located near Butterfly Valley,
therefore, you will be shuttled back and forth by boat
 KAYAKÖY
In the near history,(before 1st world war) in the village called
Kaya or Kayaköy(Karmylassos),Greek people used to live in peace
under the rule of the Ottoman Empire.There used to be about 3000
buildings,5 doctors,3 pharmacies,1 school,2 big churches,more
than 10 small monastries.
In 1923 there was a population Exchange agreement between
Turkish-Greek governments. According to this agreement, the
Greek people living in Turkey would be sent to Greece and the
Turkish people in Greece would be sent to Turkey. The Greek
people here, by this agreement, went back to Greece; but the
Turkish people living in Greece didn't want to come back to
Turkey, because the Greek government did not want to pay the
indemnity for any of the goods, lands, or the houses they owned
in Greece. So that, the houses which were reserved for the
Turkish residence, waited for a long time with allowing noone
in.
The big earthquakes really damaged the houses and th local
people used the damaged parts of the houses in their own
buildings.Thats why the old city is now looking like a ghost
town.Kayaköy is not far place from Ölüdeniz,its just 15 minutes
.
