Oludeniz holidays
A picture-perfect blue lagoon backed by pine forests and a famous paragliding mountain. Oludeniz is the most beautiful beach in Turkey.
Why choose Oludeniz?
Oludeniz is the beautiful one. A sheltered blue lagoon of impossible colour, a long shingle beach, and the mountain of Babadag rising behind it with paragliders drifting down all day. It's small, relaxed and genuinely stunning.
It's quieter than Marmaris, with a laid-back village feel and a beach that's a protected national park. Families love the shallow lagoon, couples love the sunsets, and the adventurous love the paragliding.
Unmissable Oludeniz.
Paraglide off Babadag
A 1,900m tandem flight down to the beach. One of the world's great paragliding spots. No experience needed.
Swim in the Blue Lagoon
The protected lagoon is shallow, calm and impossibly blue. A small entry fee keeps it pristine.
Take the 12-island boat trip
A full day on a traditional gulet, swimming in coves and eating lunch on board. The classic Oludeniz day out.
Walk the Lycian Way
One of the world's great long-distance paths starts here. Even a short stretch is spectacular.
