Ölüdeniz (literally Dead Sea) is a small resort village in the Fethiye district which is in the Muğla Province the South West coast of Turkey on the Aegean Sea to the south and the high, steep sided Babadağ Mountain, 14 km (9 mi) south of Fethiye. The town is a beach resort.
The whole lagoon is lined by shallow sloping golden sand and almost still water. The sand is a little gritty, but other than that, it is the absolutely perfect beach for small children. Around to the forested side, there's even room to camp out in the shade under the pines and protect fair northern skins. On the far side of the sand spit, facing the open sea, Belcekiz Beach drops away steeply and has no shade, so is generally colonised by grown-up sun-worshippers. Quieter Kidrak Beach is a couple of kilometres away to the east.
Ölüdeniz sits in the middle of a ring of magnificent ancient ruined cities of which the finest is undoubtedly Xanthos (67km/42 miles), capital of the Lycian Federation, whose population committed mass suicide three times rather than admit defeat.
Finally, back near the airport at Dalaman, take a boat through the reed beds to ancient Kaunos or upstream through Koycegiz Lake to the mud baths which are very delightful for skins.
