Ovacik - The Place

Ovacik lies above a picturesque valley overlooking Olu Deniz on Turkey's Mediterranean coast. It is a small friendly village set in a splendid landscape with mountains to the rear and the deep blue of the Mediterranean below. This relaxed resort has hotels, villas and apartments providing high levels of comfort and service with accommodation to suit most budgets. Restaurants serve a diverse cuisine from traditional food to international fare, thus catering for all tastes. Ovacik shopping is fairly limited with mini-markets for holiday provisions and the usual gift and souvenir shops. The markets of Fethiye are the places to go when bartering for bargains. Nightlife is very low key reflecting the overall peaceful nature of the village.

The wonderful sandy beaches of Olu Deniz can be reached via regular minibuses (dolmus). The fifteen minutes journey takes you to glorious beaches and warm turquoise seas. A variety of water sports are available. The traditional sailing boats, gullets, are a popular way of exploring the coastline and the small islands in the area.

Those seeking adrenaline pumping action can try paragliding from the Babadag Mountain. As you leap from the mountain, try to do so with open eyes as the view is spectacular and you will enjoy your descent to the beach. Hikers enjoy treks in the mountain forest along the nature trails. A popular walk takes you to the deserted Greek village of Kaykoy where there are over three thousand empty dwellings. A treaty in the nineteen fifties gave the village to Turkey so the inhabitants all moved back to Greece and no one moved into the empty homes.

As you can see, Ovacik holidays can be as relaxed or as active as you wish as there are activities to suit every mood.
