Situated high on the hillside half way between Fethiye and Olu Deniz, was once a tiny village, but has now become a relaxed resort with a good choice of pensions and hotels. It has numerous shops, restaurants and bars, and in the height of the season, the nightlife can be quite lively. The village of Ovacik is a short dolmus ride away. It is quieter, and offers equally stunning views of the surrounding mountain scenery.

The area is beautiful and an ideal location for walkers, especially in the spring when everywhere is fresh and green. Explore the forest paths winding down to secluded coves and bays. Being at a higher altitude the air tends to be fresher than at sea level, with a cooling breeze even in the hot summer months.
