Top yachting stopover in Turkey - Ölüdeniz

Ölüdeniz, top sailing spot

A small, beach resort in the Fethiye district, in the SW coast of Turkey on the Aegean Sea. Protected by hills and entered by a narrow channel, the lagoon is calm during even the worst storms - that is how it got its name (Dead or Calm Sea). The lagoon is a national nature reserve and building is strictly prohibited there. Ölüdeniz is famous for its wonderful color of the sea - shades of turquoise and aquamarine. It has frequently been rated among the top 5 beaches in the world by travelers and tourism journals and is regarded as one of the best places in the world to paraglide due to its unique panoramic views, and the Babadağ Mountain's exceptional height. Boats and minibuses head to the nearby Butterfly valley from Ölüdeniz.
