Oludeniz
The Mediterranean holiday resort of Oludeniz is situated just a
few minutes drive from Fethiye and has an astonishing crystal-clear
lagoon and a beautiful photogenic grey-white beach that adorns
almost every Turkish travel brochure. Despite being developed with
many hotels and apartment blocks, the scenery in Oludeniz is
spectacular and the town is a lively place to spend a holiday.
Perched on the mountain plateau overlooking Oludeniz, the resort
town of Hisaronu is packed with bars, nightclubs, gift shops and
restaurants. With their beautiful, rugged surrounds, both Oludeniz
and Hisaronu are fast becoming realised for their potential as an
outdoor activity destination: the beach at Oludeniz offers a huge
variety of watersports, there is paragliding from Babadag Mountain
onto the beach below, and a selection of boat trips depart
regularly from Oludeniz or Fethiye for a day exploring the scenic
coastline. The numerous paths that wind their way along the
hillsides offer spectacular views and sights, including the
fascinating 'Greek Village', which was evacuated during the
Turkish-Greek war of 1919-1923.
Information & Facts
Language
Turkish is the official language, but English is widely
understood in the main tourist areas.
Money
The official currency is the New Turkish Lira (TRY), which was
introduced on 1 January 2005, whereby six zeros were dropped from
the TL and the sub-unit New Kurush was created. Currency can be
exchanged at banks, exchange booths, post offices, airports and
ferry ports; banks have the worst rates and highest commissions,
but will exchange lesser known foreign currencies. Banks open
mainly Monday to Friday, but some are open daily in tourist areas.
ATMs are widely available in major cities and tourist areas, but
Turkish ATM keypads usually do not have letters of the alphabet on
their keys. Most bank branches have ATMs which accept Cirrus and
Plus. Major credit cards are widely accepted; the most popular are
Visa or MasterCard, but American Express is accepted in many of the
more expensive places. Travellers cheques can be exchanged at some
banks and currency exchange offices, but are not as welcome as cash
or credit cards. US dollars or Euros are preferred. Some pensions
and hotels in the most popular destinations accept US dollars as
payment.
