Oludeniz Beach
This is the most beautiful and famous beach on Turkey's Mediterranean coast. Surrounded by mountains, it forms a tranquil lagoon. Due to the calmness of the bay and the near-stillness of reflections, it's also known as the "Dead Beach." This stretch of Mediterranean waters is imbued with the mystical colors of Greek mythology, a breathtaking blue that stretches to the horizon and into the sky. Swimming is permitted here, but the beach is pebbly, so beach shoes are recommended.
