OLU DENIZ
Oludeniz is probably the most picturesque beach in Turkey, set on a magnificent wide sweeping bay against an impressive mountain backdrop. Clear, turquoise waters lap on a long curving sand and pebble beach which culminates in an almost land-locked placid lagoon at one end. You will find a variety of water-sports and boat trips to the surrounding islands and why not try your hand at paragliding as the views are absolutely stunning. There are a number of cafes, restaurants and bars situated along the seafront, but nightlife is more relaxed as Oludeniz has been officially declared a conservation area of outstanding natural beauty.
