Oludeniz Beach

Oludeniz or Olu Deniz is the most often seen turkish beach pictured in travel agents’ brochures. And with good reason. The golden, sun-drenched beaches, and deep-turquoise-blue sea are backed by beautiful mountain scenery. Oludeniz really is as good as it looks in the photos.

From April to September there is practically no rain or clouds, and the sun shines unhindered from dawn to dusk. Here at Oludeniz Turkey in this stunning Mediterranean beach resort on the Turquoise Coast you`ll find everything you want for a great holiday.

The gem of Oludeniz has to be the Blue Lagoon, shown on the photo to the right. This picturesque area of water is practically
cut off from the sea except for a narrow channel. As a result the water here is calm with almost no waves. The still,
crystal-clear water becomes lukewarm in the hot summer sun.

And with a gently sloping, sandy beach Oludeniz Lagoon is ideal for children to play and swim in. In fact water evaporates in the hot sun and there is not much recirculation of water into the sea. This has increased the concentration of salt in the water making it very buoyant. Hence the name Olu deniz meaning “Dead Sea”.

The lagoon at Oludeniz is in a National Park area and you pay a small fee to enter. It is an ideal place for relaxing, swimming, and for a variety of water sports and it is a very safe place for children.

The main beach at Oludeniz is Belcekiz or Belcegiz beach. This runs along by the sea through the bay to the lagoon. The surf here can be quite strong and the beach is a little pebbly in places.

The beaches at Oludeniz are very busy in the summer, but you can usually find a free spot. In high summer you need to wear some sandals, for the sand gets very hot and can burn bare feet. oludenizturkey.com
