Cheap Holidays to Olu Deniz

Olu Deniz

Beautiful sun drenched beaches, deep turquoise blue sea and nothing but sun shine for all year around...

Olu Deniz, a beautiful inland bay that stretches behind the cape, is now closed to yachts. The reason this heavenly place is called Olu deniz ("Sea of the Dead") is attributed to the following legend;

Olu Deniz holidays

Once a father and son were caught in a storm here and were in danger of sinking. The son claimed that if they approached the rocks ashore they could take shelter in a cove. The father on the other hand asserted that their ship would be driven onto the rocks and break up and that there were no coves around here anyway. In his terror of running around on the rocks, the father knocked his son (who was at the helm) into the sea with an oar and took over the helm himself. Just as the ship was about to hit the rocks on the cape, she turned into this calm, smooth watered bay.

This is the reason they say the bay is called the Sea of the Dead, whereas what with the pine clad sandy beach stretched out like a tongue, the name "Paradise Bay" would be more fitting.

Although Oludeniz is described as a lazy beach destination in some brochures there is plenty to do if you are not satisfied with long lazy days on the beach and frozen margaritas in yor hand.

You could jump from 2000 metres high and go paragliding, or go scuba diving in the warm crystal clear waters of the mediterrenean.

Oludeniz area is among one of the best sailing routes in the whole mediterrenean. You could arrange your own group and go on a gulet cruise or alternatively join others and go on a cabin charter gulet cruise along the coast for a week or a day.So whether you are looking for a quite relaxing holiday or feeling adventurous and looking for something more than just beach & sun, oludeniz has it all...
