Turkey, at the conjunction point of the Aegean and Mediterranean sea. It is located 14 km to the south of Fethiye, near Mount Babadağ.
It has a sandy bay at the mouth of Ölüdeniz, on a blue lagoon. The beach itself is a pebble beach. The lagoon is a national nature reserve and construction is strictly prohibited.
The seawater of Ölüdeniz is famous for its shades of turquoise and aquamarine, while its beach is an official Blue Flag beach.
Ölüdeniz is also famous for its paragliding opportunities.
Paragliding
Ölüdeniz is also famous for its paragliding opportunities. It is promoted as one of the best places in the world to paraglide due to its unique panoramic views, stable weather conditions, and Mount Babadağ’s exceptional height.
Babadag (Father Mountain), towering above Ölüdeniz on the southwest coast of Turkey, is a geological marvel that just makes for strong thermals and ideal conditions for paragliding flight. Ölüdeniz is reputedly the best site in Europe, if not the world, to fly paragliders cross-country in both solo and tandem modes.
Ultramarathon
Since 2010, an international multiday trail running ultramarathon, called Lycian Way Ultramarathon, is held on the historical Lycian Way. The event runs eastward on a route of around 220–240 km from Ölüdeniz to Antalya in six days.
Scuba diving
Ölüdeniz offer a variety of diving opportunities with regard to its crystal clear waters and rich underwater caves and fauna. Scuba diving is the most popular underwater activity. Local diving agencies provide courses and required scuba diving licences. Snorkelling is another diving activity and many sites are very suitable for snorkelling.
Ölüdeniz is connected to Fethiye with a wide road that is well-paved and is in a very good condition.
There is also a very frequent minibus (dolmuş) service between Fethiye and Ölüdeniz. In addition there are lots of taxis (yellow) that advertise their prices to each destination.
From Fethiye, the dolmuş leaves not from the otogar but infront of the nearby red PO petrol station (you can see it from the otogar). It also makes various stops along the main road in Fethiye where there are designated bus shelters.
