Paragliding


Oludeniz is one of the best places in Europe for paragliding hence in the last ten years the area became number one for paragliders from all over the world. Paragliders from all nations come to Oludeniz for some of their best flights of life time- with turquoise blue waters, white strechs of beaches, several take off points at different heights and locations makes Oludeniz the ideal place for both novice and experienced pilot 
It is fair to say that paragliding in Oludeniz became as famous as Oludeniz and especially with the annual Oludeniz Air Games Festival held in October every year in Oludeniz, this thrilling sport is sure to be tried and learned.

Diving

 

you can swim and want to discover the depths of the cleanest part of the, mediterranean, you can join the scuba diving tours in Fethiye, which will take you to the magic of the depths with the staff all licenced and experienced (BSAC, CMAS, PADI, DIWA, SSI, IDC courses available!).  During this tour, -if you are lucky- you have the chance to see the dolphins and even the sea turtles passing by. But the common thing is to hand-feed the fish! While doing all these, don't forget to smile at the cameras taking your pictures! A great feeling to see the mediterranean also under the sea. And another important thing is, to see the historical wealth of Fethiye Gulf also under the sea

 

Mountain Biking

One of the best ways way to discover the Turkish countryside and Turkey`s Turquoise Coast is on a bike.

Our base for biking holidays is Black Tree Village - an hour of drive from Oludeniz. Black Tree situated 1000 metres above sea level is has ideal climate and trails for mountainbiking or just simply cycling

Trekking

Walking on nomad trails and ancient Lycian paths is best way to see flora richness of Fethiye. Lycian Way starts from Babadað in Ovacýk Village. You just need usual soft—walking material with you. Every hundred meter special boards will show you the right direction and give basic information about the area. Little mountain villages will be on the way, to meet you with their friendly people, even semi—nomads. You can try this year the path from Fethiye to Kas and see Faralya Village, Pýnara—Letoon—Xanthos ancient cities on the way and next year from Fethiye to Marmaris to see Caunos ancient city, Turtle’s beach, etc… Spectacular views will highlight your holiday on the “Lycian Way”.

Rafting

If you can swim, (not so necessary actually!) and if your heart is strong enough, if you are not pregnant :) , and if you don't have asthma, I would suggest you a White Water Rafting tour on Dalaman River which is only 90 minutes to Fethiye. Don't miss this tour, if you want to fight with the strong bubbles, paddling down the river (sometimes falling and capsizing!), and if you don't mind getting wet. The distance is 12 km. and the lunch is given on the shore, nearly midway. If you are brave enough, you must choose the inflatable kayaks for two, and if you are not, you'll travel on a big raft with a guide. The tour is completely safe, Noone injured (as yet!). Don't forget to smile to the cameras on the hardest rapids with the helmets, life jackets, and the paddles in your hands.


Windsurfing

A favourite pasttime in Calis beach in Fethiye. Tuition is available from beginner to advanced level. On the eastern shores of Sovalye island even the most inexperienced can taste the magic of sea while on the western shores the more experienced will be enjoyable challanged by the large waves coming in from the open sea.

Horse Riding

Turkey is an ideal place for horseback riding. Love for horses has always been a part of Turkish culture. In the country’s history, places like Cappadocia were named the Country of Horse. Horseback riding around Oludeniz, Hisaronu and Kaya Village can be enjoyed along the little pathways surrounded by valleys and a land dotted with olive groves and ancient sites, way up into the rough mountains with breathtaking view. There are unguided and guided trails, instruction for the less experienced and combinations of sun, sea and riding for more leisurely holidays, swim in the clear blue waters and dry at an abandoned beach. Either with an easy ride on a willing horse or with a frenetic gallop through endless green plains, ride around quite lakes or trod on follow beaten paths 

Sailing

The azure waters of the Mediterranean, Aegean, Marmara and Black Sea surround Turkey to the south, west and north, making a treasure chest of coves, inlets, bays and beaches in which yachtsmen can choose a different and private anchorage each night.

The sailing paradise of Turkey is also home to the Mavi Yolculuk, or Blue Voyage, an idyllic cruise which travels to the private beach of Cleopatra, the eternal fires of Mount Olimpos and the remains of thousands of ancient civilisations. A yachting and sailing holiday around the Turkish coasts offers travelers an easy and convenient way to enjoy the region’s spectacular scenery and ancient historic sites without the hassle of deciphering ferry schedules and changing hotel rooms—you get on the gulet, you unpack once, and you’re transported to a world of whitewashed villages, sandy beaches, and lost cities surrounded by very blue sea. The gulet—your floating hotel—goes with you, providing accomodations and food, attentive service, and a familiar retreat to return to after a day of touring or just kicking back in the Turkish sun. Sailing in Turkey also allows visitors to experience the hospitality of the people in the coastal villages and towns. The tempered winds blowing from west and northwest make the long summers ideal for yachting, and seem to encourage an appreciation of nature. From some of the turquoise coast's unspoilt and sheltered bays you can see mountain peaks rising to almost 3000 meters above sea level

Waterskiing

Waterskiing facilitiesare widely available. There is a water sports school in the lagoon with proper water ski boats and experienced waterskiing instructors. Oludeniz is also excellent for snorkelling, fishing and spear fishing.

Parasailing
The most relaxing of all the watersports. Let the wing and boat do all the work as you glide through the air. A truly wonderful experience, offering a bird’s-eye view of the surrounding area .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jeep Safari

If the thing above didn't make you swet enough, I suggest you a Jeep Safari Tour in Fethiye. Only some of the things what you can face during the tour are; a flat tire, stuck in mud, engine stop while passing a river, etc... Approximately 20 jeeps will be in your convoy, and the speed limit is 70 km/h. To make you feel in safe, there are driver-guides and first aid staffs in the convoy. One leading the tour, second at the end, and rest of them will be in the convoy, seperate places. I don't want to tell you the route, since it will be just a surprise for you as it is an adventure tour
