About Ölüdeniz

Ölüdeniz on the Turkish Lycian Coast boasts one of the most photographed beaches in the world with its legendary Blue Lagoon. The unreal turquoise water of the protected lagoon, framed by densely forested mountains and the white sandy beach, adorns countless travel catalogs and postcards. For German holidaymakers, Ölüdeniz remains a hidden gem that combines beach paradise and adventure: Hundreds of paragliders take off daily from the 1,969-meter-high Babadağ for one of the most spectacular tandem flights in the world, overlooking the lagoon far below and the endless Mediterranean Sea. The nearby Lycian Way, one of the most beautiful long-distance hiking trails in the world, leads through ancient ruins and secluded bays. In the evenings, the neighboring Hisarönü attracts with vibrant nightlife and affordable restaurants.
