Advantages: Breathtakingly beautiful, lovley locals and good priced drinks.

Disadvantages: -------------------------

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 ample. It was great to be able to explore the lagoon and for October it was gloriously sunny. There are several private beaches along the lagoon and each one must have different policies and prices etc. The one we went to was fantastic I think it was called palace beach it was £1 to hire a sunbed and parasol for the entire day, there was a small bar serving drinks, snacks and ice lollies we bought 4 soft drinks and it was £3.50. There staff were so friendly they were asking about our children and life in Great Britain. They gave my two children a lolly each for being so good. There were pool tables that were free to use although It would be polite to buy a drink or two if playing.
The toilet facilities were of very high standard they were European toilets with proper flushing etc. There was a changing area and a shower.
We would have loved to spend longer in OluDeniz especially the town looked like it had some great restaurants and bars.

Summary: This was so beautiful I just wish we had longer to explore
