OLUDENIZ

Ölü Deniz translates as “ Dead Sea ”, the name given to the resort on account of the shallow, calm and crystal clear waters of its lagoon. It is a designated protected area, which means that development around the lagoon itself is prohibited. There is a small charge to enter the lagoon area, with proceeds going towards its upkeep and preservation. Despite its popularity, the resort has a laid-back atmosphere, with a selection of hotels, restaurants, shops and bars nestled between the public beach and the mountains. In addition to the famed paragliding, there is also a variety of water sport activities available such as parasailing and windsurfing.
