ONLINE VACATION

OLUDENIZ, TURKEY

4/22/14

Hi Everyone. Our trip today is to Oludeniz, Turkey. My granddaughter
asked for this vacation, since they talked about it in school.

Ölüdeniz (literally Dead Sea, due to its calm waters even during storms;
official translation name Blue Lagoon) is a small village and beach
resort in the Fethiye district of Muğla Province, on the Turquoise
Coast of southwestern Turkey, at the conjunction point of the Aegean
and Mediterranean seas.

Ölüdeniz remains one of the most photographed beaches on the
Mediterranean. It has a secluded sandy bay at the mouth of Ölüdeniz,
on a blue lagoon. The beach itself is a pebble beach. The lagoon is
a national nature reserve and construction is strictly prohibited.
The seawater of Ölüdeniz is famous for its shades of turquoise and
aquamarine, while its beach is an official Blue Flag beach, frequently
rated among the top 5 beaches in the world by travelers and tourism
journals alike.

Ölüdeniz is also famous for its paragliding opportunities. It is regarded
as one of the best places in the world to paraglide due to its unique
panoramic views, and Mount Babadağ's exceptional height.

January is normally the coldest month with average temperatures between
45 and 61 degrees F. July and August are normally the warmest months
with average temperatures between 72 and 93 degrees F. There was no
information about rainfall or snow.

I hope you enjoy this trip to the beautiful beach in Turkey.
