Oludeniz

Oludeniz has served as a seaside resort in Muğla Province since the late 20th century. Its Turkish name, Ölüdeniz, means “Dead Sea” and refers to the sheltered Blue Lagoon, linked to the open water by a narrow channel beneath Babadağ. The mountain’s slopes are a major paragliding location, while this coast belongs to the historic region of Lycia. Nearby Ovacık is the starting point of the Lycian Way, a waymarked long-distance route following the former Lycian shoreline toward Antalya. Inland, Kayaköy retains the stone houses and churches of a former Greek Orthodox community, largely abandoned after the 1923 population exchange.
