Weather was brilliant that's why we like it in September.
Holiday
I have been back now four times and for someone like myself who does not normally go back to the same place twice I just love it.
We go with friends so normally six of us. Always love it with lovely places to visit and great food , we go just bed and breakfast as we prefer to eat out as it's so cheap, you can get a beautiful sea bass meal beautifully arranged with a very large glass of wine for just 12 Turkish Lira! amazing!
Cannot get enough of this place we stay at the same hotel we got home Friday 29th September and booked on Monday 30th September for next year, job done cant wait!
Places Recommended
The river gorge trip to Saklikent with the Roman ruins plus dinner is a must
Paragliding is for the brave but amazing scenery
Sugar beach
Billys beach for evening show

The weather was fantastic, temperature even reached 41 degrees at 4 pm local time one day. Average was 30 plus!
Been to this resort 4 times now and love it as much now as we did 5 years ago, already planning to re visit next year.
Stayed at Asena Beach Liberty Hotel as we always do and again can't fault it but would recommend you ask for quiet room as lots of rooms are near the pool where poolside entertainment takes place at night and some rooms are near the main strip where there is loud music till 2 am.
Took family with us this time and all the children loved it from age 6 to 14 years. There is something for everyone.

The weather was hot and sunny every day, we went for 2 weeks the beginning of June and again in September. Not one days rain in the whole time we were there. Slightly chilly the first couple of evenings in June.
Holiday
Our holiday was very relaxing. Lazing about on the beach and trying out the fantastic restaurants and bars oludeniz has to offer.
We have made many friends over the years and they welcome you back every time. Very friendly place from the shops to bars and hotels. Never any trouble from larger louts as it attracts mainly couples and families.
Places Recommended
Hissaranu up in the mountains is the place to shop and if you want a livelier resort. Under a £1 for two people on the local dolamas.(mini bus).
Bella and gusto an Italian restaurant is fantastic for steakes and really good value for money. Fetyie market is a must go in the afternoon it's less crowded and cooler in the afternoon.

We have been to Olu Deniz 3 times now and are going back in September again. We visited in May and the weather was very good although a little chilly at nights.
Holiday
Olu Deniz is the most beautiful and relaxing place to visit. That is why so many people return again and again. The Turkish people are so friendly and polite. They will do anything for you and are a credit to their country.
Places Recommended
I would recommend that if you are visiting Olu Deniz you should go on some of the trips to see what the surrounding countryside is like. We have been to Pamukaale; 12 Island Boat Trip; Dalyan Mud Baths; Kayakoya (Ghost Village); and many more. There is so much to see and do. I love this place so much that we are going back in September this year - that will be our fourth visit. We always also stay at the same hotel where we have become friendly with most of the staff and it really is like "home from home".

We went to Olu Deniz in may. The weather was perfect. The highest temperature we experienced in the 7days we were there, was 28 degrees. Thats quite a difference in comparison to 16 in the UK.
It is beautiful in Olu Deniz. The scenery, restuarants and people there are just great. My favourite place so far. The lagoon is lovely although slightly cramped, however, there is a beach on the other side of the lagoon against the moubtain called sugar beach which is accessible via the same path going into the lagoo, but just detouring off to the right.
The water in the lagoon is at a good temperature in May, but jumping into the sea afetr a bit on subathing will take a little adjusting as the water is slightly colder.
The paragliding is a must. But if you dont fancy that, there are the boat trips from Fetiyie Harbour which is gorgeous and full of loggerhead turtles. There is a moon light cruise from the Olu Deniz bay with a restaurant on board.
Safaris are avaiable, hikes up to the Bagadad mountain and plenty of diving. It really is a magical place. Definatley a couples retreat. Beach looks amazing on the pictures but is a bit stoney. So dont expect pure sand.
Holiday
Our holiday was great. We stayed at a two star hotel called Hotel Turk. But honestly, it wasnt a two. If you ws to rate it on cleanliness and hospitality, i would say easy a 4. Its a family run place too so they will do all they can to help you.
Good food.

Went their in sep 2012 weather was brill hot had a few showers but the come and went as fast as they come and only lasted a couple of hours and we were back on the beach again. Also they were good fun as very heavy rain.
Holiday
Went their in sep 2012 just my wife and I, the hotel was nice not the best I have ever stayed in but that's not to say it was horrible. We were all inclusive but we ate out a lot not that the food was not very nice in hotel, but it was so cheap to eat out in the town.
Everyone was so nice even the guys that were selling in the shops, don't get me wrong they do hassle you a bit but they don't pester you ie you can have a laugh with them and if you say no they shake your hand and say things like ok mate next time stuff like that. Bad experience in Egypt my wife hates that now but she was having a laugh with the guys at the end. Beach is one of the best I've been to and the views surrounding the beach are breath taking.
I have never gone back to the same place twice and I've been all over the world on our holidays, but I'm going back to Olu Deniz in June 2013. People, weather, views, food, good night life lively or quiet something for everyone, O and the beach are brill and not to far on plane, what more do you want from a holiday. O and para gliding if you fancy it. Colin 49

We went on the 27th July 2012 for 10 nights. The weather was very hot, in the 40's most days.
Don't walk round for a long while as you just end up sweating and then having to cool down.
Holiday
The holiday was fantastic: beautiful place and surroundings; watching the paragliders was great as they come over and land at the front of the beach.
Really nice people and hotel, food really good and cheap to eat out.
Everything cheap: shopping and eating.
Places Recommended
Go to Fethiye market - when we were there it was about 50 degrees, so beware- very hot walking round. But good bargains to be had, just barter with them and you get them down a lot.
Must have a Turkish Bath - fantastic but do it before you burn helps with the suntan.
Also visit Dalyan mud bath and Turtle Beach - long day but good. Jeep safaris are good we didn't do it, but maybe next time- heard they were great.
All round a beautiful place.

My holiday was brilliant, i'm upset about all the bad reviews that The Magic Tulip got, it was a brilliant hotel and the boys who worked in the hotel couldn't do enough for us. Jason, Jack and Bob were the best, we made great friends with them and the staff couldn't do enough for us. So this hotel gets very unfair reviews which makes me angry because it will put people off going there, I would say too ignore the bad reviews and go there, enjoy it, because we did and we miss it already.

Weather is fantastic, we chose to go in May and October, still low 80's even then, anything in between is too hot for me, although my wife doesn't mind how hot !!!
Holiday
Again what can i say, we have been goin to Olu Deniz for 8 years now, and in 2 days time it will be our 17th visit, i think that says it all !!. There are loads of fantastic restaurants, The Atta Lagoon being my personal fave, but wherever you choose to eat you will not have a bad meal, and i think we must have eaten in about 95% of them.
The night life is good, but if you want mad, then hop on the Dolmus up Hissaronu, and really let ya hair down. There are some great beach front bars with open roof top terraces to sit and watch the paragliders land and to watch the world go by and of course the fantastic sun set, try Crusoes, great place believe me, then at night they turn into clubs later on.
Places Recommended
i am generally a lazy sod on holiday and you would normally find me lying by the pool with a cold drink and a good book, but there are absolutely loads of places to go and things to do.
Kyakoi, is a must, Paragliding is something you must at least once, that is amazing. Fethiye has a beautifull harbour and huge market once a week (if thats wot ya like) Calis beach just past Fethiye is newish up and coming, and is very nice.
The boat trips are great value for money, a small tip, turn up on the beach early, and wait to see the boat with fewest on then ask how much, you will get a better deal than booking in advance and you wont be crowded out, which can happen with the pre-booked trips. They all visit the same places so you wont miss out on anything !!
Go on give it a try and enjoy, i know i do ;-)

There are plenty of good bars and restaurants, staff really friendly and don't hassle you to much.
There are loads of gift shops where you can haggle with the prices.
The beaches are beautiful, the colour of the sea is breath taking, and the water very warm.
We stayed at the Turquoise Hotel which was fantastic, the staff really friendly, pool was a good size and very clean.
The snack bar served wicked home made pizza's, which were to die for.
Your rooms are cleaned every day, cleaners are very friendly.

I would recommend this time of year as not too hot for young children, fair or senstive skin.

Absolutely wonderful, for children and grown-ups alike.
The resort is a gem.
It was clean, very relaxed for families and couples of all ages, with no hint of large groups of idiots on the prowl.
With a large range of lovely restaurants serving tasty and reasonably priced food we were never stuck for somewhere to eat - I would recommend the Bed and Breakfast option in this resort the restaurants are too good to miss.
The bean bags on the beach were a real treat to sit and relax and watch the world go by.
We stayed at the Asena Beach, very nice pool, friendly staff and clean decent rooms (a bit on the small side - don't get a room next to the 'strip', you may never sleep!)
Places Recommended
The mud baths were fun.
The days cruise unmissable - all reasonably priced, but take care the drinks and ice creams on board the boat are pricey.
Paragliding looked like fun, my other half had several fights and returns next week for a course! Personally I like to keep my feet firmly on the ground and watched from the comfort of the pool.
Take Sterling with you, exchange rate was much more favourable than UK.

Weather
Fantastic.
But maybe a little too hot for some people as I went in August.
Very sunny, but not too humid. Ok as long as you use high factor sun cream.
Im very fair and used sun cream and came back with a good tan after a week. You can find shade on beach with the umbrellas.
Holiday
Brilliant.
Everyone very friendly.
Food great. Good choice.
Not pestered as much in shops as you are in Marmaris.
No big groups of lads or lasses or lager louts.
A mixture of age groups with couples and families.
Nightlife may not be enough for people who like to go out till 5 or 6 in morning, but we thought it was great.
We are in our forties and went with people in their 30s, 60s and a 13 year old. We all enjoyed it!
Bars open till about 2.00.
Food served until about 12 or 1.
Stayed in hotel Turquoise which was good.
Some people may find music around pool quite loud, but you are on holiday after all!
We looked at some of the other hotels and this looked like one of the best.
Cant fault location or hotel.
The mountain views are great.
Beach not over crowded, even in peak season.
Wish we'd gone for two weeks!
Places Recommended
The Blue lagoon and beach area near the lagoon.
The lagoon water is much stiller than the main beach area, so anyone a bit water shy may find this calmer, although it is usually a little breazier and slightly more overcast in this area. On a clear day the water is an amazing colour.
Turkish bath at hotel was really good! Wish you could get same quality and value for money in good old Blighty!

The weather was great in the hight 30's low 40's.
I would use factor 40 for the first few days and then go to factor six if you are an adult but children should use factor 30 all the time
Holiday
The holiday was great lots of things to do in Olu Deniz the rooms in the hotel were fab there is also a pool side bar which is amazing things are cheap as well in the hotel they have good Turkish nights there.
Places Recommended
Visit Kayakoy it is amazing you should also go to Tlos and Saklakent.
I've been going to
Turkey for 10 years and we used to go to
Marmaris and now we go to Olu Deniz which was the best choice ever.

Holiday
We had a fab holiday, the hotel was ok...small rooms for 3 but we coped.
Pool are was good with kids area and the pool table was a hit with my boys.
Food was less of a hit tho so we ate away from the hotel every evening.
Local places where great! People were lovely...I was alone with my kids and had no hassle but helped by the fact I look turkish!
Places Recommended
The Jeep Safari is a must if you dont mind getting soaked (in that heat it was brilliant!)
The gorge was a relief from the heat!

Weather
The weather when me and a friend went was absolutely gorgeous.
But be aware it can get too hot for some, we went over in July and we hit the heat wave that was travelling over Eastern Europe and my god did we feel it.
I got burnt on my first day over there, so please if your going to Olu Deniz for a holiday don't be stupid, take a high factor sun cream for the first couple of days.
Holiday
The Holiday itself was brilliant, people were all very friendly much more friendly then
Bodrum and
Marmaris in Turkey. The food was very good and you received a lot for the cost, which was cheap anyhow.
The food is very much the same as
England but with a wee twist. You can grab a T-Bone steak out there which is now rare to many places in England and also all fresh fish like swordfish is a must try mwah.
The restaurants do differ to all different tastes and if you look hard enough you will find a traditional Turkish restaurant.
Places Recommended
I would recommend going to
Fethiye market : good deals on all things from handbags to clothes to watches to purfum but be aware they are not real and the locals will try chatting you into to buying them.
I would also recommend renting a boat out for the day which I found is better then going on the island boat tours because you get your own freedom and you can dock it where you want.
You get your boat, diving equipment and a cool box and away you go, all at a better price than the island boat tour as well.
When going places like the markets or little shops around Olu Deniz its worth haggling.
Do not go with anyone's first offer, this is regarding clothes, jewellery which in fact is beautiful.
I would highly recommend Olu Deniz to anyone that wants a chilled out holiday with great mountain views in the sun. The nightlife is ok but very laid back there are few clubs and if you do want to get a little merry the drinks will sting your bill so be warned.
The evenings on Olu Deniz beach do offer sitting facilties (bean bags) where one can sit and smoke some turkish pipes while drinking a cocktail, a great way to relax after a hot day.
If your looking for more of a lively holiday I would recommend going to a different resort like Marmaris or even taking the bus from Olu Deniz to Hisoranou central which doesn't cost alot and you will find alot of night life there, which is also much cheaper and you may come home with some money in the pockets.

Weather
We went here at the end of May 2008 for 2 weeks and the weather was fantastic, it was around 32 degrees everyday. We had just one bad day out of the 2 weeks and that was unfortunately on our last day, but we were very lucky and there was no rain at all!!
Holiday
We stayed in a hotel called Sun City and it was a great place to stay. It was central to everything. The food was good, the people were great and loved children so if your going on a family holiday I would recommend this place to stay!! Olu Deniz itself is quite a small town, catered purely for tourists obviously, but all the same a great place. The Turkish people are quite pushy and will try to sell you pretty much anything, especially day trips which can become rather anoying after 2 weeks but you just have to be polite and say no thank you if your not interested! We did a couple of trips through our rep at the hotel to be on the safe side, especially as we have a small child. I would not recommend them as they are overpriced for what you get and we had a bit of a bad experience on one of the trips. We complained and were offered a free turkish bath which we accepted. I would recommend doing the trips through the people on the high street, they are alot cheaper and we spoke to people in our hotel who had done trips this way and had a fantastic time!!
Places Recommended
I would recommend having a mud bath, you have to experience it, its pretty smelly!! I would not do it again but it was good fun if you dont mind getting covered in mud!! The Blue Lagoon beach was nice, but not as wonderful as its made out to be, but definitely worth a visit!!

We have been a few times now, but have found the best time to go is June / July. This particular trip was in August and was very humid.
Holiday
Fantastic, although based in Olu Deniz, spent most of time in
Fethiye town. Great selection of bars and restaurants.
Places Recommended
A must do, is a boat trip. There are alot to choose from but we used Ali Solak, aka Captain Midnight. With lunch thrown in, it was a very entertaining day and at a very reasonable price.

The Weather was fantastic, lovely and hot! Although i would advise that if you don't like it too hot then don't go in August like we did. Cooler in the evenings although a bit muggy but other than that no complaints at all.
Holiday
We both had a brilliant time and will definitely be going back. The place is beautiful, the people are so friendly and willing to do anything for you. The food is fantastic, especially if you manage to find some authentic Turkish restaurants. This can be a bit difficult as they tend to cater for the tourists. Everything you need for either a family holiday or just with your partner.
Places Recommended
I would definitely recommend the Jeep Safari, this is fantastic fun. But be warned you will get wet, they make sure of it!!
Also I would go on the 12 Island boat trip, this is a great day out for everyone and you get lunch thrown in as well. If your feeling up to it then do the Paragliding, this was great fun and worth every penny . However the journey up there is long and it only takes a matter of minutes before you are back on the ground at the beach front!!

Went in Sep 07, very hot and sunny during the day, average 26c. no rain at all.
Warm in the evenings but after being so warm in the day you may need a cardy or sweater if you eat outside.
Holiday
Absolutely brilliant. The beach is great, water lovely and blue, great just to chill.
Lots of sunbeds and umbrellas and the cafe owners employ young lads to take and bring your orders so you don't have to move.
Getting around is easy-you can use the dolmus, very cheap and efficient, or go on boat trips-lots of fun and value for money.In the evening there are loads of bars and restautants in Olu Deniz or go up to Hisaranou for shopping and then dinner-lots of bars with Sat Tv for the footy while the ladies shop!
Places Recommended
Butterfly valley from Olu Deniz, or get a dolmus to
Fethiye and go on a boat trip- THE 12 Isaland one is good and lunch is included.
In resort there are lots of trips- the jeep safari is good fun but be prepared to get VERY wet.Also try a trip to Saklikent gorge.
