Ölüdeniz is a town near Fethiye in Turkey, famous for its ‘Blue Lagoon’.The village and the beach by the lagoon was locally known as Belcekız or Belceğiz before the area became a magnet for mass tourism, although today many people in the area have no idea about what Belcekız is and the town as well as the lagoon are both known as Ölüdeniz, which literally means “dead sea” and originally referred only to the lagoon itself.
nland to the north, 2 km to Ölüdeniz, are the former villages of Ovacık and Hisarönü, with occasional family-run guesthouses only a decade ago, but are today concrete sprawls of hotels and bars, agglomerated almost without a gap with the town of Ölüdeniz. Both serve as “bedroom communities” that offer accommodation that is close to but cheaper than Ölüdeniz proper.
During the peak season in May to October, Ölüdeniz is filled with British tourists. It is a popular vacation destination for British citizens of whom many own homes there, so you wont even feel like you’re in Turkey. To get more of an authentic Turkish experience a stay in Fethyie is recommended, but even Fethyie has many British citizens during the peak season.
