Oludeniz.

Ölüdeniz is defined by a rare geographical pairing: a hyper-calm, protected lagoon and a soaring mountain launchpad. This resort town on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast is famous for its Blue Lagoon, where a natural sandbar creates a tranquil, shallow sanctuary of still, clear water distinct from the open sea. Towering directly behind the beach is Babadağ mountain, one of the world’s premier paragliding hubs. This creates the resort’s signature spectacle, as tandem gliders constantly drift silent patterns over the white sand and turquoise water before landing near the shore. Beyond the beach, the area serves as a lively base camp packed with dining and lodging options, and it offers easy boat access to the steep cliffs of Butterfly Valley and the trailheads of the Lycian Way.
