Ölüdeniz

Ölüdeniz features a protected blue lagoon with turquoise waters surrounded by pebble beaches and steep mountains descending into the Mediterranean Sea.

The area transformed from a small fishing village into a major tourist destination after the 1980s with the development of resorts and tourism infrastructure.

The name Ölüdeniz translates to Dead Sea in Turkish, referring to the consistently calm waters that remain still even during strong storms.

The beach resort provides numerous water activities including scuba diving, boat tours, and swimming, while Mount Babadağ offers paragliding opportunities.

The protected status of the lagoon prevents construction within its boundaries, preserving the natural state of this Mediterranean coastal formation.
