The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region
The area is dominated by the Taurus mountains that provide spectacular scenery. The hillsides throughout the region are covered with pine trees, wild flowers and herbs that ensure the area is flooded with a cornucopia of scents. The area has been dubbed the 'Turquoise Coast' and certainly lives up to its name, the surrounding Mediterranean Sea completes the image of paradise.
Olu Deniz area
Füsun Apart is situated in the village of Ovacýk 1,000 feet above sea level in the foothills of Baba Daðý (Father Mountain), which has a peak of 6000feet. Its elevated position attracts a pleasant breeze in mid-summer. Ovacýk has a primary school, two mosques and in recent years several small shops and a variety of restaurants and hotels.
The adjacent village is Hisarönü (meaning ‘in front of the castle’). This is where most of the shops, bars and restaurants are located. It is found by walking down the main road and will take 5 to 10 minutes to reach. Hisarönü boasts a health centre, post office, bank, cash machines, Turkish baths and mosque. Every Monday there is a local market where you will find a selection of stalls selling fruit and vegetables, spices, clothing, household goods and souvenirs. Prices are reasonable but feel free to barter as well. Trading starts in the morning and continues until late afternoon.
The nearest and most popular beach is at Ölü Deniz (meaning ’dead sea’), which takes 10 minutes by local transport. It gets its name from the secluded lagoon at the far end of the beach. There are umbrellas and sunbeds for hire on the beach and an abundance of shops, bars and restaurants, along the seafront and beyond.
The nearest town is Fethiye, some 15 minutes away by bus. The town is situated on the site of the ancient town of Telmessos, renowned for its wise scholars. The town is steeped in history with Lycian tombs, an amphitheatre and the ruins of a fortress built by the Knights of the Crusades. The town has a pleasant harbour, museum, shops, bars and restaurants.
As this peninsula is surrounded by water there are a wide variety of activities including scuba diving, snorkelling, parasailing, banana rides, water skiing and windsurfing. Most of these activities can be booked through one of the many tour companies in Hisarönü. Boat trips are available from either Ölü Deniz (including a visit to St Nicholas Island—residence and alleged burial site of St Nic himself) or from Fethiye (taking in the marina of Göcek).
Air borne activities are a speciality of this area. You can jump 6,000feet from Baba Daðý with a paraglider, tour the area by microlight, go up in a seaplane or try out a helicopter ride. These sports are not without risk and accidents do happen. Make sure you are fully insured.
