Ovacik Holidays

Nestling Amongst Fragrant Pine Trees…

Peaceful and secluded, traditional and scenic, holidays to Ovacik will transport you to a small slice of paradise, away from the hustle and bustle of some of Turkey’s busier resorts. Located in the Dalaman region, Ovacik translates as ‘little plain’ and that’s exactly where you’ll find it, nestling amongst the fragrant pine trees, just off the road that runs from Fethiye to Olu Deniz, between the mountain slopes and dazzling Mediterranean Sea. Just 2 miles along the road you’ll come across the breathtaking beach at Olu Deniz, thought to be one of the most beautiful in the world with clear turquoise waters and powder white sand. The famous ‘Blue Lagoon’ lies just off the beach here and plays host to a number of water sports, whilst the clear calm waters are perfect for swimming, making the ideal day out on all family holidays to Ovacik. Part of the lagoon is now a protected area which keen walkers will enjoy exploring as they immerse themselves in the natural beauty that unfolds before you.

Horse riding, cycling and hiking are the best ways to explore the local area; old mule trails will take you along mountain paths, through forests and canyons past traditional villages and ancient sites. Ovacik holidays are a Mecca for para-gliding enthusiasts with some of the most breathtaking scenery you are ever likely to see anywhere in the world. Clear blues skies and excellent wind conditions provide panoramic views of the breathtaking mountains, pristine beaches and glistening blue sea. Feel the rush as you swoop from the peak of Mount Babadag, floating on the warm breeze until you come to land on the soft sands of Olu Deniz beach.

Drink In The Atmosphere Of This Stunning Turkish Town…

For a more upbeat experience on Ovacik holidays, the lively village of Hisaronu is just along the road and here you’ll find streets and squares bustling with life and a good selection of cafes, bars and restaurants to choose from. There are also a couple of late night clubs for those who like to party a little later into the night. Fethiye makes the perfect day out with its thriving harbour and its lively weekly market. This is where you’ll find deep sea fishing excursions, sailing trips and gullet cruises, or simply relax at a harbour side café and drink in the atmosphere of this stunning Turkish town. Accommodation on holidays in Ovacik varies and many people select the bed and breakfast or half board hospitality of some of the first rate hotels here. Possibly the best way to get a true feel of Ovacik though is to stay in self catering apartments or traditional villas, most of which offer panoramic views of the mountain scenery, white beaches and crystal clear waters stretching out below.

Local bars and restaurants offer traditional dishes such as ‘karniyarik’; a tasty Turkish moussaka, washed down by the local tipple, ‘raki’, rumoured to be even stronger than ouzo! Holidays in Ovacik are the perfect destination for seeing everything that Turkey has to offer; the natural beauty and lush green scenery, traditional villages, authentic markets and beautiful beaches will appeal to holidaymakers of all ages.
