Oludeniz, Turkey’s quintessential dream beach, is featured in every guidebook and covers a circular promontory south of the eponymous resort town of Fethiye. White sand and turquoise waters set the stage for the lagoon. In addition to the wonderful scenery, all kinds of services and entertainment are available so that no visitor gets bored. There are several providers of water sports and activities on the beach, as well as a variety of restaurants and bars, to satisfy everyone’s expectations.
One of the most popular hotels is the Oludeniz resort, which is located on the sand and pebble beach of Belcekiz Bay, about a 20-minute walk along the ocean shore to the famous Oludeniz lagoon. The surrounding town is home to many restaurants and shops; Fethiye is about 8.5 miles away. The hotel houses 192 rooms in a two-storey residential complex. Facilities include reception, lobby and bar, restaurant, conference room, mini market, hairdresser, fitness center with Turkish bath, sauna and small indoor pool with Jacuzzi, children’s pool, large landscaped pool, snack bar and sun terrace. Medical and laundry services are also available for a fee. This fabulous resort offers cheap vacation deals, especially when booked early and online.
A vacation in Fethiye promises an incredible experience on beautiful beaches and stunning natural scenery. The city has a population of 50,000 and is located on the Lycian Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Inland, behind the coast, are the majestic Taurus Mountains, which give the region a unique impression. The best season for a vacation in this corner of Turkey is spring, as the peaks are still covered in snow and one can enjoy the quiet beaches, before the summer tourist crowds arrive. Anyone who wants to be pampered on their getaway is well catered for in one of the Turkish hammams. These buildings are approximately 400 years old and offer relaxing massages at affordable prices.
The Montana Pine Resort in Fethiye is a quiet hotel on a hill surrounded by a pine forest. The excellent service includes a free daily shuttle to the beach and a transfer from Dalaman airport, which takes about 110 minutes. The facilities, which are designed in a typical oriental style, consist of a lobby, reception, lobby bar, indoor and outdoor restaurant, mini market and amphitheatre, coffee shop and conference room. In the garden there are 3 swimming pools, a relaxation pool and a poolside snack bar. The rooms are modern and equipped with amenities such as safe, direct dial telephone, satellite TV, air conditioning and balcony. This is a perfect complex for a family vacation, since the offer of entertainment programs and sports activities is endless.
Crystal clear waters, dream beaches and the lively port of the town of Marmaris are an ideal starting point for a relaxing and fun holiday in Turkey. Numerous cafes, taverns and restaurants offer an insight into the region’s diverse cuisine. The shopping streets and nightlife cater to the needs of tourists. The large and modern port of Marmaris is protected by offshore islands and makes Marmaris a center for water sports. Marmaris still retains the charm of the picturesque fishing village, which it was before the development of a tourist center.
The Marmaris Resort Hotel was built in 1995. It has 270 double rooms, 13 junior suites and 37 suites, and since the reception is open 24 hours, arriving late is not a problem. Rooms at Hotel Marmaris are equipped with hair dryer, mini bar, bathtub, safe, direct dial telephone and satellite/cable TV. There are 3 separate pools: in the first one, one can relax in peace, and in the other two there is always a lot of entertainment. The complex is very family-oriented and offers an extensive entertainment program throughout the day. The hotel is about a 25 minute drive from Marmaris and there are no nearby towns around the resort. However, one can have a fantastic adventure by taking a Dolmusch, the Turkish variation of a taxi, and exploring the magical surroundings of Marmaris.
On the edge of Marmaris Bay, right at the start of the Bosphorus Peninsula, is the popular vacation spot of Icmeler. Icmeler is a quiet place and certainly not as hectic as Marmaris. There you can walk along the promenade and discover all kinds of corners of the town. Icmeler has its own ice rink where tourists and locals alike skate amid incredible scenery. Taking a boat trip from Icmeler to Marmaris is another remarkable thing to do; it takes about an hour and a half. Icmeler beach is more impressive and longer; however, the view of the magnificent mountains, stretching out into the water, is astounding. Icmeler also offers an extensive nightlife, and many, who have already spent their holidays there, have returned the following year.
The Hotel Marti Resort is located on Icmeler Bay, across the pedestrian walkway that separates land from ocean. It is embedded in an impressive landscape, surrounding the wooden hills with their saturated vegetation. Due to its perfect location, the Martí resort is one of the most beautiful all-inclusive hotels in the area. In the manicured gardens there are two large swimming pools and a separate children’s pool. Buffets for all meals are always fresh and versatile. Everything is available in abundance and is refilled as soon as possible. The rooms are comfortable, clean and modern equipped. Customer satisfaction is the top priority at the Martí resort, which is why the facility is suitable for wheelchairs, as it is equipped with ramps, toilets for the disabled and rooms for people with special needs.
