Hi Mattb22,

I'm sure you'll love Oludeniz - it really is beautiful.

As far as Dalaman Airport is concerned, food and drink is very, very expensive there; but that's only something to bear in mind on your return journey. Trolleys cost £1 (in English money) - that's if you need one of course.

If you're not travelling with a tour company and you need to arrange your own transfer, an airport taxi will cost you approximately £30 - £35 to Oludeniz; I think that's also around the going rate for a private transfer. Timewise, a car from Dalaman to Oludeniz (going at a good speed) will take about 1 hour 10 minutes.

They do have a couple of diving schools in the area, and if you go into Fethiye Town to the harbour, you'll find a few different boats adverising various diving trips.

The best restaurants are in Fethiye Town - this is where you'll find the true Turkish restaurants. But Oludeniz (and Hisaronu) have some very nice ones too - although they are much more 'touristy'.

The Secret Garden, and the Olive Grove in Oludeniz are both very nice.

If you go up to Hisaronu the Oasis, Robin Hood, and the Olive Tree are all very good too.

Hope this helps.

Luk,

The Montana Pine is the best hotel in Hisaronu.

I have stayed there, and I can tell you it is absolutely beautiful.

The hotel itself, the scenery, the views, the food, staff.......it's just lovely. It will spoil you for anywhere else in Turkey.

We would also recommend the Secret Garden in Olu. Quite beautiful.

Hiya mattb22

Olu Deniz is lovely, now can I remember your questions, here goes.

Scuba diving is excellent, you can go with numerous dive schools for a try dive if you have never dived before, and if you have a non diving partner they can go on the boat as well. I know coz I am a non diving wife. I can recommend Divers Delight in Fethiye or European Dive Centre also in Fethiye. They will collect you from your hotel and take you to their office.

The lagoon is lovely but if you want to snorkel the area we went to last time (the free beach of Sun City) was unsuitable as the water was very murky and cloudy and it was like snorkelling through treacle.

And as regards safety, I would quite happily walk around OD of a night, but not my local town centre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
