Turkey is blessed with some of the most superb beaches. The main ones are listed below. If you would like a quieter place to wind down and soak up that Hisarona sun then head out either west or east of the town and there are iidyllic tranquil beaches to be found. If you need help in finding them then ask one of the locals in the bars or restaurants to point you in the right direction and you'll soon find a tiny gem of a beach to get away from it all away from the crowds.

Olu Deniz
This wonderful beach is situated in a conservation area so high rise hotels and all that comes with them are not allowed. Surrounded on 3 sides by superb mountain scenery and with a National Park at one end (small entrance fee) this is a pretty much perfect place. The beach itself is part fine shingle and part pebbles and there are lots of water activities here. Canoes and pedalos, water sking, scuba diving and snorkelling and para sailing. There is a camping area where if you want you can spend a night under canvas, under the stars - fantastic. There are bars, restaurants and lots of music and entertainment on offer.

Katranci
A quieter beach than Olu Deniz situated in a very beautiful bay. During the Summer months there is a camping area with showering facilities. To get to the beach a car is required it's on the road between Fethiye and Mugla. The beach is backed by some beautiful forests of pine and eucalyptus and the beach itself is of fine sand.

Kidrak
Go East from Olu Deniz beach and you'll come across this beach. The beach itself is of shingle is a very popular camping area for tourists and locals alike. This beach is such a great area but seems never to be crowded. Somewhere to get to if you want to get away from the crowds and have a place to unwind and soak up that sun.

Gunluklu
Get here by car and you'll find a quiet peaceful beach missed by the tourists and frequented by the Turkish themselves. Like Katranci It's on the road between Fethiye and Mugla. This beach is a great place to unwind and let lifes cares drift away. Treat yourself to a late night under the stars with a few friends and a bottle or 2 (none for the driver!) and you'll have a great memory of your holiday.
