Welcome to Türkiye, dear Lykkers!

Are you planning an adventurous holiday or a relaxing one?

It doesn't matter! We have found the best place to enjoy both crazy activities and relaxing afternoons! Today, we will explore Ölüdeniz, known as the "Dead Sea" for its serene, calm waters. This beautiful destination is situated on the southwest coast of Türkiye, in the Fethiye district.

Getting There

The nearest airport is Dalaman Airport, about a 1-hour drive away, from there you can grab a shuttle bus, hop in a taxi, or even rent a car for more flexibility. Once you hit the road, follow the signs to Fethiye, and from there, it's a short, scenic drive to Ölüdeniz.

3 Things to Do

1. Relax on the Beach:

The beach is the highlight, with its soft sand and calm, clear water. It's the perfect place to lie down and enjoy the sun. The Blue Lagoon, a protected national park area, offers particularly tranquil waters ideal for a relaxing swim, snorkeling, and simply lounging on the beach. Don't forget to snap a photo – the lagoon's beauty is Instagram-worthy!

Address: Ölüdeniz, 48340 Fethiye/Muğla, Türkiye.

2. Paragliding:

For an adrenaline rush, take a tandem paragliding flight from Babadağ Mountain and glide over the breathtaking landscape, landing gently on the beach below. Babadag Mountain is a towering peak overlooking Ölüdeniz, known worldwide as one of the top destinations for paragliding. Reaching about 1,969 meters (6,460 feet), it provides stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
