Ölüdeniz

Of the many charming bathing-places in the surrounding area the sheltered coastal lagoon of Ölüdeniz (Dead Sea) in Belcegiz Bay (15km/9mi south of Fethiye as the crow flies) is undoubtedly the finest, with beaches of fine sand in an idyllic setting of coastal hills (conservation area). The growth in tourism has seen this part of the coast become somewhat overdeveloped in places.
