Olu Deniz - Turkey - Amazing Natural Beauty

Oludeniz ('dead sea' in Turkish) but the steep mountain road and drop down to the beautiful lagoon still make it a major watering hole for young and old alike.  During the summer this spot can become crowded, and is a popular anchorage for yachts. It is one of the premier beach spots in Turkey and the world-classHillside Club is located here.

This lagoon offers Turkey’s most beautiful beach (and busiest), encircled by high pine-clad mountains which
plunge straight down into the turquoise sea. Though the lagoon is now designated a conservation area, there
are many small hotels and restaurants down on the beach itself. The bulk of the accommodation, however, is 4km (2.5 miles) inland in busy resorts like Side.
