HISARONU & OVACIK

Located at the foot of Babadag, Ovacik is 6 kms. from Fethiye, Away from noisy crowds, with varied, accommodation facilities, it is a delightful holiday center, where we can feel the refreshing offshore breeze even during the hot summer days.

After Ovacik, Hisaronu is on the way to Kayakoyu, a vivacious spot with colourful shops offering all kinds of souveniers, sparkling centers of entertainment and restaurants serving food from all over the world. On the other hand, the accommodations located on the slopes surrounded by pine trees provide a haven for a peaceful holiday.

Situated on a high plateau 4km from the coast and surrounded by stunning mountains, the once sleepy villages of Hisaronu and Ovacik have combined to create a lively resort which has a distinctly British atmosphere. The nearest beaches are the famous lagoon of Oludeniz or the pebble and sand beach of Belcekiz. A dolmus leaves every five or ten minutes. The village is full of bars, restaurants and shops. This is certainly the place to haggle for any imitation designer gear. The cool mountain air can be quite a relief after a day in the sun and there is plenty to do in the evening. Hisaronu, and the Fethiye area in general, are blessed with a rugged and beautiful landscape, the potential of which for activity holidays (and holiday activites) is just being realised. Hisaronu is special because its location means that you can paraglide in Oludeniz one day, canoe down the Xanthos river to Patara the next, paintball in the pine forests of Kaya Koyu and still take an overnight trip to the classical ruins of Ephesus. There are variety of hotels, villas & aparts in the area, from simple family run to luxury hill top hotels with views of Oludeniz beach below. Just above Oludeniz amongst the pines on the lower slopes of Babadag the village of Ovacik straddles the mountain road between Fethiye and Oludeniz.It`s convenient situation, clear air, quiet country trails and excellent accommodation make it an ideal base for enjoying all the diverse aspects of this captivating area. Ovacik is situated only 3 kms away from Oludeniz Beach and is the neighbouring village to Hisaronu. Ovacik village is spread out in a big valley just below Babadag mountain - hence there isn`t a resort centre as such - but most of the accommodation is situated within walking distance to main road and Hisaronu village centre. There are beatifully landscaped hotels with views over the valleys down below, luxury villas with swimming pools, good choice of apartments and self catering accommodation. Ovacik is good alternative to Hisaronu village - if you are looking for a more private & relaxing holiday.
