If you're looking for fun things to do in Ölüdeniz, you've come to the right place. We've compiled a selection of some of the best things to keep you busy during your visit to one of the most popular holiday destinations in Turkey. Whether you want to sink your feet into powdery soft sands on the beach or paraglide from the top of Babadağ mountain, you can do it all and more in Ölüdeniz.
Things to do
One of the most famous places to see in Ölüdeniz is the beautiful Blue Lagoon. People travel from far and wide to bask in the warm sunshine and peer out at the still tranquil waters of the lagoon. Beneath the water's surface lies an underwater world of brightly coloured fish, marine plant life and, if you're lucky, a passing loggerhead turtle. You can go snorkelling or enjoy an afternoon of scuba diving with help from professional instructors.
If you're after more adventure, head to the top of the stunning Babadağ mountain, where you can marvel at panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. As you walk towards the top of the summit, you'll come across a cosy restaurant offering passers-by great food and drinks to help recharge their batteries. From the top of the mountain, you can battle the skies with a 40-minute paragliding experience over the surrounding countryside and the Blue Lagoon.
Places to see
Keen explorers won't want to miss the chance to experience the beauty of Kidrak Natural Park. You can reach the park in five minutes by taxi or car, making it easy to get to from Ölüdeniz. You can also go by water taxi and enjoy some stunning sea views along the way. When you reach the park, you can explore the rolling mountains, lounge in the warm sunshine or relax on the beach. The choice is yours.
In Olu Deniz, places to visit include the Butterfly Valley and day trips to places such as Patara Beach. This beach is 'away from it all' and gives you the chance to escape the busy crowds and enjoy 18 km of golden sands in peace and quiet. You can easily spend an entire day here and if you like, you can extend your stay and head to the ancient site of Letoon to uncover its historical wonders.
Attractions
Ölüdeniz attractions offer something for all ages, from a lively nightlife scene to some of the best restaurants along the Turkish coast. If you're looking for something to do in the town, make your way to the promenade. Here, you'll find a selection of fine-dining and casual restaurants, cafés and a few bars serving up traditional Turkish cuisine and live shows on the weekend.
Families will have an epic time at the Grand Ucel Aqua Park, which features plenty of fun activities and slides for the kids to enjoy. Adults can get in on the fun too on rides like the Freefall, Helterskelter and Spacehole. You'll also be a few steps away from the nearest restaurant, which means you can enjoy a quick bite to eat in the shade whenever you like.
