A unique view comes into sight after an arduous but ultimately rewarding journey.

Kidrak Beach

Kidrak Beach, which is 2 kilometers from Oludeniz and 15 kilometers from Fethiye, is located in Kidrak Nature Park. The stony bottom of the sea makes the waters crystal-clear like a glass. It is better to wear water shoes in the sea. Turquoise waters give the beach an exceptional beauty. Care must be taken as the sea deepens very rapidly.  

 

Inlice Public Beach

We can say that the fact that Fethiye is a destination where lush nature mostly meets rich-blue waters makes it stand out. Inlice Public Beach is one of the places that offers such a beautiful view. The hard sandy beach and sparkling clear waters promise a great vacation. However, care must be taken as the sea immediately deepens.

Olive, sandalwood, pine and citrus trees on the hills make it look in unique harmony with nature. Turunc Pinari Bay is ideal not only for those who are looking for a quiet vacation away from crowds and the hustle and bustle but also for those who love trekking and walking. 

 

Calis Beach

At Calis Beach, morning is the best time for those who are looking for calm waters without waves. The sea is calm as a millpond until noon but becomes wavy in the afternoon.
