Holidays to Ovacik bring you to a quiet hillside village, with cooling mountains as a backdrop and Olu Deniz’s famous Blue Lagoon just down the road

Away from the hustle and bustle

Ovacik is a sleepy village on the western rise of Turkey’s pretty Turquoise Coast, on the Anatolian Riviera. It’s set back a few kilometres from the coast, so you get a peaceful place with traditional appeal – as you’ll see from the thatched wooden houses and cedar-clad mountain scenery. Livelier Fethiye and Hisaronu are within easy reach, and just down the road you’ve also got the country’s most-photographed beach.

A choice of beaches

Ovacik is inland, but there’s a necklace of beaches around 15 minutes away by dolmus. Olu Deniz comes top of the list. Here, one side of the beach curls around a freshwater lagoon, while the Aegean laps at the other. Gemiler Bay, between Olu Deniz and Fethiye, is the swimmers’ pick, though – it’s a pebbled stretch with gentle waves syphoned off by pretty cliffs.

Easy daytrips

With Ovacik, you’re in easy reach of some great sights. Kayakoy is a genuine ghost town that hasn’t been inhabited since just after WWI – and it’s only 15 minutes away by dolmus. About 5 minutes further gets you to the striking Lycian tombs outside Fethiye. They were carved out of the rocks here some 2,500 years ago. You can even visit the Greek island of Rhodes – a hydrofoil from Fethiye harbour will take you there in just half an hour.

WHEN TO GO

Temperatures in Turkey are sizzling for much of the year. As April rolls around in Izmir, the thermometer is already hitting 20°C and, when summer is in full swing, the mercury tops out at 30°C. The Bodrum peninsula, further to the south, features spring and autumn temperatures that average about 25°C and summer highs that rise to 30°C – thankfully the area's sea breezes help to cool things down a bit. In Dalaman, summer skies are always blue, the sun shines 12 hours a day, there’s virtually no humidity and temperatures often rise above 30°C. Things get even hotter in Antalya, where, in July and August, the mercury can reach 40°C, which is still bearable due to the area’s cooling sea breezes. Over the rest of the summer, as well as the spring and autumn months, the thermometer hovers between 30 and 35°C. Things do cool down somewhat in the winter, with temperatures averaging between 15 and 20°C.
