What is the most beautiful beach and/or town in Turkey? I read that it is Olundenz. Will be going to Antalya. Is it far from Olundenz? Aside from the beach is there shopping and night life during March? How would I get there? can I fly in from Istanbul? Anyone know of any reasonably priced hotels on the beach? what other beaches are beautiful?

We spent 1 night in Olu Deniz. It's very very touristy, but I was still glad we stopped for the night. It seemed very lively in the evening with lots of British tourists. It's close to Fethiye where there's lots of shopping, restaurants, etc. Can't remember the name of the hotel - Blue Sky, or something along those lines. Very reasonably priced (I think it came to about $28 CAD) - it seemed to be used mainly by package holidays. It wasn't right on the beach, maybe a couple of blocks from the beach. <BR><BR>Personally I liked the Kalkan area. The beach itself isn't fabulous, but it's close to Patara, which is fairly spectacular, and I found the town charming.

Sorry for the double post - hit send before I wanted to, hit stop, but it was too late.<BR><BR>I should mention that I don't have a lot of experience in Turkey - just 1 week - so I'm sure others will have some good advice.

OLUDENIZ is the best place in Turkey as night life and beach BUT SO CROWDED.<BR>Yes you can fly from Istanbul to DALAMAN AIRPORT the go to OLUDENIZ.<BR>Oludeniz is 4 hours far from Antalya with car. Antakya also has beatiful beachs if you have time ( I am sure you will go to SIDE) side beach really sandy and beatiful in the History and ruin like Alanya<BR><BR>ABC
