Your guide to Ovacik holidays

Food & Drink

Eating out

This stretch of Turkish coast is a food lover’s dream, from delightful restaurants to traditional markets.

Ovacik’s restaurants offer fresh local cuisine, but if you’re looking for more variety, head to nearby Hisaronu where you’ll enjoy international fare. There’s everything from fast food to fine dining.
Foodies love the bustling food market in nearby Fethiye. Open on Tuesdays, it’s bursting with colourful, seasonal produce that looks as good as it tastes.
Wander into any watering hole or restaurant and you’ll see Raki on the menu. Turkey’s national drink is the go-to tipple for any occasion. It’s the perfect way to toast your Ovacik holiday, just remember to only clink from the bottom of the glass.
If picturesque views and a laid-back atmosphere are just as important as the food, head to the restaurants on Fethiye harbourside. Enjoy local seafood while admiring the electric blue waters.
Fish is a favourite on the Turquoise Coast’s food scene, and the daily fish market in Fethiye is the best place to pick up the freshest catch. It’s also a popular spot to dine, day and night.

Traditional cuisine to try in Ovacik

Turkish cuisine is a favourite around the world and there’s plenty of delicious local fare on offer on your Ovacik holiday.

Tasty kebabs cooked over charcoal flames are a particular favourite in Turkey. Juicy marinated lamb or beef is often the most popular.
The rich flavours of authentic Turkish Pide make them a real crowd pleaser. A doughy bread with a thick centre filling of ground meat, cheese or vegetables, they’re often called Turkey’s answer to pizza.
Got a sweet tooth? Indulge in some Baklava, honey-soaked layers of flaky pastry topped with chopped nuts. It’s loved by locals and beyond.
For a filling lunch or snack, try Gözleme, a Turkish street food staple. These flatbreads are filled with a variety of fresh ingredients, with goat’s cheese a common favourite.
Most meals begin with traditional meze and appetizers. Often split into cold and hot courses, staples include stuffed vine leaves, grilled calamari and pinto beans in tomato sauce.

Holiday types

Couples holidays

The romantic scenery and stunning sunsets at Ovacik provide the ideal setting for a couple’s holiday.

The picture-perfect Blue Lagoon is thought to be one of the world’s best beaches and Turkey’s most photographed attraction. Stroll hand in hand along this mile-long stretch of golden sand and take in the deep blue ocean.
Are you a couple that likes to be pampered? Enjoy a couple’s massage at many of the spas in and around Ovacik. There’s also traditional Turkish baths, saunas and rejuvenating facials on offer.
Romantic holidays in Turkey must include a trip to Aksazlar Beach. The dazzling white sand shimmers in contrast to the deep greens of the mountain forests. It’s easy to see why this is a favourite spot for weddings.
Take in the fresh pine air on a horse riding tour through the ancient settlement of Kayakoy. The charming surroundings are a recipe for romantic bliss.
The pretty cobbled streets and dazzling historical sites of Rhodes Old Town are the perfect romantic backdrop. It takes just 90 minutes by ferry to reach the beautiful Greek town across the Aegean Sea.

Nightlife in Ovacik

You don’t need to travel far to enjoy an evening of entertainment. From small bars to busy clubs, there’s something to suit all night owls.

Ovacik’s nightlife is low-key and perfect for those who are looking for a slower pace of life. Hotels often put on their own entertainment as the sun goes down to turn up the tempo.
Just one kilometre away and easily reached by foot, dolmus or taxi, the bright neon lights of Hisaronu highlight discos, late night bars and plenty of fun.
Head to Fethiye for its lively bars where you can join locals for a tipple or two, or dance until the early hours in the coastal nightclubs.
For more relaxed evenings, sip cocktails and take in the stunning views in the elegant bars in and around Calis Beach. Time your arrival to take in the stunning sunset.
The bars dotted along Olu Deniz’s beaches are ideal for liquid refreshment after a day’s sun worshipping.

Local hotspots

Culture

The ancient lands around Ovacik have been home to great civilisations. Exploring them today is a dream for history buffs.

Visit the ghost town of Kayaköy and its thousands of abandoned stone buildings. Once a thriving home to 10,000 people, it’s stood eerily deserted since the 1920s.
Hop on a boat trip from Olu Deniz to visit the beautiful Gemiler Island. Thought to be the original burial place of St. Nicholas, better known today as Santa Claus, it’s scattered with religious ruins from the Byzantine Empire.
The city of Tlos was one of the most powerful of ancient Lycia, a civilisation which spread across this stretch of modern day Turkey. Visit the now-ruined city on a rocky hilltop to see the mesmerizing remains of the acropolis, theatre and warrior tombs.
The resting places of the Lycians have looked down on the town of Fethiye for thousands of years. They were ornately carved into the rockface of surrounding mountains to allow the dead to be taken away by angels.
Ancient coins, historical ornaments and recreated burial sites are all hosted in the Fethiye Museum, which tells the story of the Lycian civilisation.
