Oludeniz Beach

Oludeniz Beach is located in Fethiye on the southwest coast of Türkiye. The name "Dead Sea" is translated from the Turkish "Ölüdeniz," referring to the bay's year-round calm waters—even when the open sea is rough, the water enclosed by the sandbar remains as calm as a mirror, and it has no relation to the high-salinity Dead Sea in the Middle East. A curved sandbar separates the open sea from the Blue Lagoon on the inside: the outer beach faces the open sea, while the inner lagoon is shallow and clear, transitioning from turquoise to sapphire blue, with pine-covered hillsides all around, creating a picture-perfect scene of blue, white, and green.

Oludeniz

Turkey's Dead Sea is located in Oludeniz, south of Fethiye. Although the place name is chilling, it has a soft sandy beach that is enough to enjoy the style of the Mediterranean coast. Changing rooms, shower rooms, and open-air bars are also available. Typical of Turkish European beaches. A big turn of the Mediterranean Sea on Turkey's long and tortuous southwestern coastline has created the huge Turkish Dead Sea. The entire coast is surrounded by mountains, forming a calm and waveless lagoon. Because the water here is calm and the reflection in the water is almost still, it is named "Dead Sea". This is a natural beach in southwestern Turkey, you can swim, but the beach is pebbled, so it is recommended to wear beach shoes. In addition, paragliding is also a popular sport here. When you fly into the air, you will experience peace and tranquility. The feeling of integration with the blue sky, blue sea, green mountains and white sand is very wonderful.

Butterfly Valley

Butterfly Valleyis a nearly isolated canyon on the coast of Fethiye, backed by Babadağ Mountain, with steep cliffs 200–300m high plunging almost vertically into the sea, and the valley floor hides a small pebble beach and a bay of clear, turquoise water. The valley is inaccessible by road, and most visitors arrive by island-hopping boat from Oludeniz, a trip of about half an hour, often arranged as an early stop on these tours. The valley is named after the Jersey tiger moths and other butterflies that inhabit it. In midsummer, they gather in swarms deep in the canyon. You often won't see them if you stay only on the beach. To find them, you need to hike along the trail inside the valley, passing through dense vegetation, accompanied by streams, shade, and birdsong along the way. At the end is a clear spring waterfall, and that cool, moist valley area is where the butterflies gather.
