Ölüdeniz Holidays

Welcome to Ölüdeniz

Oludeniz named after its famous lagoon, which translates literally as ‘dead sea’, the scenery of this resort is some of the most breath-taking in the whole of Turkey. High pine-clad mountains surround an idyllic bay with a long swathe of pale shingle and coarse sand leading to the protected National Park area of the lagoon with its sandy beach to one end. It is a spectacularly romantic setting, which could be why so many couples choose to get married here. 

We are Oludeniz holiday specialists with a wealth of knowledge about the resort & surrounding area and know all the best places to see whilst you are away.

Ölüdeniz is also the perfect family holiday resort for a laid-back beach break. It is a popular resort with numerous lively bars, restaurants and shops alongside the seafront promenade but still retaining an individual charm.

There is plenty of choice when it comes to dining out, with authentic Turkish and international cuisine, fine dining, budget options and many places offering child-friendly menus. While away your days in this hazy, sun blessed resort by sunbathing, sipping on a long, cool refreshing drink or enjoying one of the many water sports and activities available.

The local countryside is also very beautiful and holidays here are certainly not just for beach lovers. A rambler’s paradise, this lovely resort is situated along Turkey’s first long-distance walking route, the Lycian Way, a 509km way-marked footpath around the coast of southern Turkey running from Fethiye to Antalya. For walkers the best time of year to enjoy this route is either February to May or September to November, avoiding the higher temperatures during the main summer months. It is possible to walk shorter, shadier sections if visiting during June to August, but not particularly recommended.

High above the bay are the villages of Hisarönü and Ovacik. Just 4km from Olüdeniz, Hisarönü offers lively nightlife and a great variety of shops, cosy cafes and a wider choice of restaurants, whilst nearby Ovacik is slightly quieter and surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery, still with a choice of shops, bars and restaurants. There are frequent dolmus services available to both these villages and also to Fethiye, only 12km from Olüdeniz, an attractive harbour town with a colourful, bustling market to explore.

Ölüdeniz Holiday Highlights

Fethiye Market

Bag your souvenirs at Fethiye Market, the largest in the area, and try out your bargaining skills. Round off your experience with a traditional Turkish meal in the charmingly atmospheric village of Kayakoy.

Tlos & Saklikent

Visit one of the oldest and most important Lycian cities, with its stunning rock tombs, Roman theatre and bath. Take lunch and explore the spectacular mountain gorge of Saklikent.

Kayaköy

It is well worth visiting the extraordinary sight of Kayakoy, the so-called ‘ghost village’, nestling amongst the mountains - it was once the thriving village of Karmylassos with some 3000 buildings but has been deserted since 1923 and has fallen into ruin. A short dolmus ride from Hisarönü, it is an excellent place to experience a lively evening and has some good restaurants which cater mainly for locals and are very reasonably priced.

Butterfly Valley

You can also take a short boat ride to vibrant Butterfly Valley, named for the migratory Euplagia quadripunctaria, more commonly known as the Jersey Tiger, a colourful red, black and white tiger moth which comes to the valley in the thousands during the summer months. A waterfall cascades into the flat-bottomed valley which is enclosed by towering cliffs, the damp conditions supporting a variety of plants as well as appealing to the moths and other kinds of butterflies.

Our flight was delayed and I received contact from Oguzhan and Rica telling me that they had arrange later pick up from the airport when arriving in Turkey. Mustafa our driver was warm and friendly throughout our stay .The transfer and 3 day tours were fantastic , Our guide was really knowledgeable and looked after us while we toured this remarkable place The highlight was the Balloon ride in the morning a truly magical experience . I can not fault any part of the holiday and the service of Diamond Travel Experience . Easy to contact through what’s app anytime which was a great touch . I would strongly recommend Diamond star Experience for booking a holiday , We will def book again with them when returning to Turkey. Thanks and well done ! A truly wonderful Break" Mrs Wilson  - 21 Aug 2025

"A week's trip on Perla del Mar captained by Mustafa, with chef Dohan, and crew Cem, Emre and Meric turned out to be the best family holiday we had ever booked. Akin's recommendation of the boat was spot on. Dohan's menu and cooking was absolutely excellent. The crew went out of their way to assist us at every opportunity and their care and attention to the children on the trip was exemplary. There wasn't a single fault that on the whole trip, the transfers worked perfectly, the crew were there to greet us at Marmaris and led us through the alleys to the waterside where the amazing boat in front of us was to be ours for a week. We were all taken aback and realised that Mum's mad dream was coming to fruition. A holiday found by google, sold to us by Akin who took the trouble to explain everything turned out to be beyond the dreams of all of us. Canoeing in quiet coves, swimming and snorkelling to our hearts content then served with drinks and snacks before amazing meals and enjoying the trips between coves became the order of each day. I can firmly recommend this holiday to anyone. It was simply amazing." Christine - 25 May 2025

" We went to Diamond Star experience because they offer multi-centre holidays and had good ratings. We were in no way disappointed with what was organised. We said that we wanted a few days in Athens and then a week on a relatively quiet island. Akin made a proposal (Athens then Naxos) and then, when we agreed, organised everything. The Athens hotel was central and accessible to the main sites and to restaurants, and was of very good quality. The choice of Naxos for the island was equally good and we stayed in an excellent three star hotel on the edge of the town within easy reach of the beach and restaurants. All transfers were efficiently organised and even when there was a transport hiccup (our fault!) there was a phone call from the Athens back-up team within the hour to find out what had happened.
Thank you very much, Akin and staff, for a really enjoyable holiday and for service which can be easily be recommended.
