Top 4 Nature Activities to Do in Fethiye Ölüdeniz

This holiday resort, loved by all local and foreign tourists, is a bay surrounded by sandy beaches and in the shadow of the Babadağ mountain range. Therefore, the nature sports and activities to do are just as diverse.

Tourists, especially from Europe and Russia, flock to Ölüdeniz for beach and sea holidays every July and August, and Ölüdeniz is one of the world's largest destinations for tandem paragliding. It attracts adrenaline enthusiasts who want to parachute from the Babadağ cliff towards the sea.

What are the Ölüdeniz activities?

There is one main beach area in Ölüdeniz, a wide, public promenade surrounded by many cafes and restaurants. The most popular length of beach stretches along the north and offers magnificent views of both the Mediterranean Sea and the lagoon bay.

If you're not just here for the beach, we've listed some of the best outdoor and nature activities you can enjoy in Ölüdeniz and Fethiye.

#1: Tandem paragliding

Babadağ paragliding in Ölüdeniz is one of the most popular activities in Turkey for those looking for adrenaline with its breathtaking view. Tandem paragliding is performed in the Babadağ region several times a day from May to October during designated flight hours.

The paragliding fee includes transportation from Ölüdeniz to the departure point in Babadağ, located at the top of a winding mountain road.

Once you take off, it's all about enjoying the view. During the flight, you will soar above the densely wooded hills and the sparkling blue sea and discover with your own eyes the bird's eye view of this coastline and blue lagoon.

#2: Butterfly Valley Trip

If you are tired of sunbathing on Ölüdeniz Beach, how about taking a boat tour to Butterfly Valley for a change of scenery and walking on the beach there?

Butterfly Valley, located among the high cliffs of the Seven Capes, is an eye-catching tourist spot that turns into a tiny beach by the sea. The only way to get here is by boat because it is surrounded by hard and steep rocks. Transportation is very easy as there are regular boat services.

You can find a small waterfall on one of the paths and you can see with your own eyes the types of butterflies that give the valley its name.

#3: Daily Ölüdeniz Boat Tours

We can say that full-day Ölüdeniz boat tours, departing from the pier at Ölüdeniz Beach, are available from May to mid-October. These boat tours are very comfortable, include meals, and take you to see all the natural wonders of the bays on the same day, without tiring you out. Ölüdeniz boat tour prices are around 180 TL.

And not to mention swimming in the clean and clear waters of these magnificent bays, away from the crowds!

In general, a boat ride along the Ölüdeniz coast takes more than half a day and offers views of its towering cliffs along the route. Butterfly Valley, Gemiler Island (also known as St. Nicholas Island) and Aquarium Bay are among the frequently visited destinations.

#4: Lycian Way Walk

The western leg of the Lycian Way, Turkey's most famous long-distance walking route, is located just north of Ölüdeniz.

There are also several small paths that connect to the Lycian Way route, offering excellent daily walking options for those who enjoy walking outdoors.

To see the view of Ölüdeniz from another angle, the half-day walking route from Ölüdeniz Beach to Kayaköy, through the pine forests, is definitely recommended for enthusiasts. The route is hilly, so you can start in reverse for an easier alternative.
