Olu Deniz

I am probably 40 years too old for Olu Deniz and having spoken to a couple of friends who went there 20-30 years ago I think they would cry if they saw the place today. The weather was perfect, the scenery stunning, the food very good but it was hardly recognisable as Turkey. We met lovely people who seem to be working hard in the Tourism Industry but sadly I don't go to a foreign country for a Sunday Roast with crumble and custard for pud. The river trip to Dalyan was fantastic but I wonder about the conservation of Turtle Beach. Is it enough and is it enforced? There are so few unspoilt corners of this world left and Western Turkey is not one of them. Wall to wall outdated thumping pop music and the only chance to sleep was because of double glazing.Oh Dear!! Kath

My Girlfriend and I went to Olu Deniz last year and had such an amazing time. I was a bit apprehensive and curious of what to expect at first but I think what summed up our opinion was at the end when we said we'd happily go back - not something we usually say generally because we don't like to go back to the same place twice, and that way we can see more of the world and experience more etc. It's probably one of the friendliest resorts I've been to. The hotel was lovely and the pool was well maintained and the bar was always looked after by the same two people who we'd built a bit of a rapport with by the end of the trip. The strip where all of the ...  Read the complete review

I have just got back from a fantastic holiday in Olu Deniz in Turkey. Gorgeous sunshine (temperatures were in the mid 30's- June 2009), a beautiful location and very friendly locals make for the perfect holiday in this resort. We stayed in the Turquoise hotel as it was recommended to us by friends and found it clean, pretty and very, well, Turquoise! We even had a Turquoise TV, although that didn't get very much use at all! There is plenty to do for all in Olu Deniz, which well known paragliding location, and although I didn't have the guts to do it myself I was told it was a brilliant experience, around 40 minutes in the air overlooking the whole resort. There is also a ...  Read the complete review

My family and I went there in June 2008 and had our best holiday in years. We stayed at the All Inclusive Olu Deniz Resort review and had a wonderful time there. The resort itself is stunning, waking up every morning surrounded by the blue sky and hills is something that I'll never forget. It's a quieter resort but that was what we were looking for. However, there are plenty for bars and restaurants to keep you amused - just no lager louts, which is refreshing! There is a lot to do while you are there and you must have a go at the paragliding - just be careful you don't get hit by one as they land on the promenade. This is ...  Read the complete review

We visited Sarigerme in Turkey October 2008 and a stop off in Oludeniz was included in an excursion to Fethyia. When we arrived in the town it was clear to see that it was a thriving tourist town, I didn't see many residential areas although we didn't stay long so if we had explored a bit more we may have stumbled accross some local areas. We spent most of our short time there down by the lagoon. I must say that out of everywhere I have been in the world, this is the only place that actually looks like the postcards for it. It was breathtakingly beautiful. We hired a family pedalo boat for £5 and this was for two hours although I think about 30-45 mins is ...  Read the complete review
