Oludeniz
 

I'm looking at booking a cheap holiday next Spring and have found a package to Oludeniz that seems to meet the bill. However, we are not real sun/beach lovers and a day or so just sitting around admiring the view will be quite enough for us. Is it easy to get to other places from there - we'd like to see some of the local life and historic sites, and get a peaceful day away from it all too. Is it going to be full of sunburnt boozy Brit Sun-readers? Is it a good base for getting to see other places by bus/boat/dolmus? (bearing in mind that we are very limited by budget - the weeks's package is costing us £200 each, about the same as just the flights if we were to go independently as usual - so we can't be too fussy about where we end up).

Hi Nona - I suspect using public transport would probably mean going into Fetiye each time by dolmus - and then out from there.

But like all the main resorts, I'm sure you'll find various tours bookable through the local travel agencies - e.g Lycian rock tombs, Tlos, Saklikent Gorge, Patara, Kalkan, Dalyan ...

I m in Kusadasi right now. If you guys are not beach lovers Oludeniz is not a good place for you to stay. Ephesus which is Turkey's best ruins is like 10 miles from here. You can write [email protected] about that. He can tell much more about that than me.

If staying in Olu Deniz be sure to look at Kaya Koyu an old abandoned Greek village about 15-20 outside of Fethiye. The public transportation is very good running between all area.

Look here for more info about Kaya Koyu

Hisaronu may be better for you. It's in the mountains and roughly half way between Fethiye and Olu Deniz so easy dolmus trip to both. Good choice of restaurants too.
