Ölüdeniz in Fethiye is truly a piece of paradise on Earth. The famous Blue Lagoon is even more stunning in person than in pictures. The water is an incredible shade of turquoise and is so calm and clear that it's perfect for a relaxing swim or paddleboarding. For adventure seekers, paragliding from Babadağ Mountain is an absolute must. Soaring over the lagoon and the coastline is an unforgettable experience; the views are simply breathtaking. We also took a daily boat trip, which was a fantastic way to explore hidden coves and swim in the open sea. In the evenings, the main promenade at Belcekız Beach comes alive with great restaurants and a relaxed, happy vibe. It can get quite crowded, especially during the peak summer season, but the place's sheer beauty more than makes up for it. Whether you want to relax on a stunning beach or seek adventure in the sky, Ölüdeniz has it all.
