The shoreline is 6km long and is significant for its nesting turtles (approximately 15mins drive from the villa).

Fethiye area
Uzumlu is a traditional village, quiet and unspoilt with very friendly locals,and retains all the natural charm and character of a Turkish village. Resurants and a supermarkets are on the main street which are a short walk (5min) from the villa offering superb local wines, beers as well as offering a full range of breakfast and dinner products. Cadianda ruins can be found within walking distance, above and behind the villa, nestling in the mountainside. Kia ghost village and the rock tombs of Fethiye are a short drive away. The famous Saklikent Gorge is easily accessible by car. Those more interested in archaeological sites can reach Tlos, Pinora , Xanthos, Letoon around an hour and even Pamukkale is within a days drive. For the more adventurous there is White Water Rafting, Paragliding, Wind surfing. Jeep safaris and Turkish baths are also very popular.
Fethiye is a region of beauty. If you are a nature lover wanting to explore e new horizons, then this is the area for you. Among the many wonders are the pristine turquoise blue waters, hundreds of tiny coves and lush green vegetation with hardly a drop of rain from June to September, just wall to wall sunshine. The friendliness of the people and the varied cuisine are testament to the culture that is thousands of years old. The town itself is a harbour town where a fleet of fishing boats deliver their catch to local restaurants every day. There is always beautiful fresh fish on the menu, Local beer (EFS) is reasonable and some of the locally produced wine is excellent. The town itself is full of restaurants and bars, with many situated along the promenade overlooking the harbour. There are a large variety of shops selling leather goods, shoes, clothing and of course jewellery. In the centre of town is the old Turkish bath, an experience not to be missed.
OLUDENIZ If you've ever been into a travel agents offering holidays to Turkey then you've probably seen pictures of Oludeniz. The lagoon features on a multitude of posters, postcards and brochure pages. It's not surprising as the characteristic shape of the coastline here has resulted in a unique stretch of glorious beach and the inevitable development of the little village has been fairly restrained. Ovacik is an extension of Hisaronu, a village set in the mountains, it is also a very popular tourist resort in the summer months. Mount Babadaga (Father Mountain) the second largest mountain in the area is situated here and is very popular with paragliders from all over the world. The road to Belcegiz Bay takes you through the mountains for those seeking mountain scenery. Ocakkoy is the mountain village that is a must see, enjoy the numerous trekking possibilities. Explore the bay and the beautiful Blue Lagoon, Olu Deniz, where the calm, crystal clear water is ideal for swimming and other water sports. The Blue Lagoon is one of the best places in the world to do absolutely nothing except soak up the sun amid stunning natural surroundings. From Mt. Baba (1,969 m), you can watch a sky full of paragliders glide into the Blue Lagoon or have a coffee or cool beer on Belcegiz beach - much safer! Intoxicating scenery surrounds Kidirak's beach and shady park. On Gemiler Island (St Nicholas's Island), Byzantine ruins lie tucked among the pines. South of Kidirak beach, Koturumsu Bay is reachable only by boat. Beyond the idyllic beach, a forest, waterfalls and a valley filled with hundreds of varieties of butterflies await the explorer. High in the mountains above Fethiye rushing torrents cut a narrow gorge through the mountains, creating Saklikent (Hidden City) get there with a cheap boat trip from Fethiye marina.
Kas and Kalkan are a must for beautiful coastal scenery. Kas is situated on the site of the oldest settlements in the region of Lycia. Today it is a sophisticated resort, yet retains its Turkish character. Kalkan is a small, picturesque fishing village with a cheerful harbour. Narrow alley's wind up the hillside with restaurants, bars and souvenir shops where you will find carpets, jewellery (Please visit "Yardans Bespoke Jewellery") where you will find a very warm welcome especially if you mention you are staying at the "Carpe-Diem".
