As you drive from Fethiye up the mountain to the charming village of Hisaronu, not only do you take in the beautiful scenery but on a hot summers day you can notice a welcoming difference in temperature as you climb.
The first area you pass through is Ovacik which is mainly hotels, apartments and a few shops, you then come into Hisaronu village itself. The resort is popular with British visitors and the shops, restaurants and bars cater extensively for the needs of all age groups and is an ideal location for a relaxing holiday.
For those who want a more active holiday there is Olu Deniz, which has the most photographed beach in Turkey and is only a ten minute journey by Dolmus. There you will be able to find a variety of water-sports ie.- water skiing, para-gliding ,scuba diving, snorkeling,pedalos etc.
For the braver of you there is paragliding from the top of Babadag mountain.If you prefer a more relaxing day on the water there are a selection of boat trips available from both Olu Deniz and Fethiye.Olu Deniz beach sweeps round in a vast crescent of coarse sand and shingle to the Lagoon, which is now a National Park. A small charge is levied for entry.
The cooler temperature in Hisaronu welcomes you back from a hard day at the beach and offers a well earned rest before your evenings entertainment. Hisaronu is a recently established resort and although it has grown in the last few years, it still retains a friendly and vibrant atmosphere.It is an ideal place for walkers as there are plenty of winding paths through the forests with wonderful views and of course a visit to Kayakoy (the ghost village), where the Greeks once lived is a must.
There are plenty of excursions on offer ie. Ephesus, Pammukale, Dalyan and day trips to the Island of Rhodes.The night life in Hisaronu can be as lively or as quiet as you wish to make it, with plenty of bars and clubs. A must for shoppers is the weekly market in Fethiye, where you will find the best bargains. It is the biggest Bazaar in the area.Fethiye itself is worth a visit to take in the history and culture of the area or to have a romantic walk round the harbour.
