Paragliding

Babadag, covering the eastern part of Ölüdeniz, is deemed as one of the best flying points in the world for paragliding. Babadag is on the list of "world heritage" due to its rich flora and presents the splendour of Ölüdeniz and its environs from a different perspective. Experienced sportsmen wishing to make a single jump can obtain their equipment and transfer services from the travel agencies active in the region.
To attempt a tandem jump accompanied by a pilot and with your camera to document the panorama of Ölüdeniz while gliding in the blue sky is an experience to add colour to your whole life.
After an exciting trip on a rough mountain road, the summit at an altitude of 1975 meters is reached. Prior to the jump, the last preparations are carried out. After checking the parachute equipment, the pilot accompanying you gives you the technical information and advises you on what you have to do. All that is left to you is to run a few steps towards the wind and let yourself go in the sky. Once the parachute opens, you will glide through clouds and reach the sea. Now relax and enjoy this perfect flight..
Adrenalin and freedom in the sky... The only thing you have to do is to be able to say to yourself, "I want this"...
One of the most important factors determining the flight down is the varying thermal conditions in the sky. During your flight, which lasts approximately 25 minutes, you have a range of vision from the Butterfly Valley to the Kaya Village and the impressive splendour which nature bestows in this region. Your hands are free to immortalize this beauty with your camera...
Your flight ends when you reach the soft sands of the Belcekiz Beach. The high adrenalin content and the exuberance of freedom will stay with you forever.

Scuba Diving

The crystal-clear waters along the shores of Fethiye are ideal for deep-sea diving, which is one of the fast-developing recreational sports in the world. The fact that there are no negative currents along the extensive shoreline assists you in mastering this sport in an easy and safe manner. Experienced diving centres in the region arrange daily and nightly diving tours throughout the year, both for beginners and skilled divers, as well as extensive courses on the basis of PADI, CMAS and BSAC.
At approximately 20 diving points, selected for experienced divers, there are shallow rocks, impressive caves, walls and tunnels for all tastes. Furthermore, it is possible to perform archaeological dives where one can see amphoras dating back to 334 B.C. when Alexander the Great conquered Asia.
During weekly diving tours with traditional schooners, you can enhance your diving skills at points en route to Marmaris from Fethiye-from Kas or Fethiye. These weekly tours offer you a special opportunity for training courses with a certificate. While attending theoretical and practical courses given by skilled diving teachers on board, you can relax and enjoy the bewitching beauty of the Mediterranean. An unforgettable holiday awaits you with skilled diving and service facilities and up-to-date, safe diving and sailing teams.
Anyone older than 12, with no health problems and feeling comfortable while on board can easily participate in this sport. All you have to do is join the daily diving tours to discover the beauty of the underwater world and to acquire diving skills. Pursuant to completion of required formalities in the morning, your boat reaches the diving point after a short trip.

White Water Rafting!

If you can swim, (not so necessary actually!) and if your heart is strong enough, if you are not pregnant :) , and if you don't have asthma, I would suggest you a White Water Rafting tour on Dalaman River which is only 90 minutes to Fethiye. Don't miss this tour, if you want to fight with the strong bubbles, paddling down the river (sometimes falling and capsizing!), and if you don't mind getting wet. The distance is 12 km. and the lunch is given on the shore, nearly midway.
If you are brave enough, you must choose the inflatable kayaks for two, and if you are not, you'll travel on a big raft with a guide. The tour is completely safe, Noone injured (as yet!). Don't forget to smile to the cameras on the hardest rapids with the helmets, life jackets, and the paddles in your hands.

Horseback Riding

Daily rides with mounts for experienced and nonexperienced riders are avaliable around the local countryside and in Kaya Village. There are also horse riding courses and horseback riding in Fethiye.

Trekking - Lycian Route

The Lycian Road is described in historical documents as a transportation system of paths connecting the 45 known city-states of the antique Lycia. The ruins of antique settlements on your route is ornamented by the rich flora and fauna of the Taurus Mountains and the bewitching panorama of the pine forests joining the sea. During your trekking, the cordial and hospitable population of the mountain villages and interesting cultural values make you forget your fatigue and acquaint you with the beauty of a different life-style.
The Mediterranean-Taurus fauna, with its approximately 9.000 species, and the endemic samples of most extraordinary flowers and trees afford the trekkers of the Lycian Road the unique experience of discovering a natural museum. The Lycian Road is opening up to the world from Fethiye as an alternative and popular tourism activity of recent years...
The starting point of the Lycian Road trekking is the Ovacik Village. You reach the summit of Babadag, at an altitude of 1975 meters, and from there to the Faralya (Uzunyurt) Village, following the road signs placed at every 100 meters. Especially during the first part of the trekking, you are required to wear boots and carry trekking material suitable for mountain roads, foodstuffs and water supply adequate to last until you reach the springs.
After Faralya the path is within the forest and on an easier scale, again guided by road signs. You encounter no problems with water and food. To stop for a swim at Kabak Bay adds to your pleasure... The antique settlements on your route such as Sydima, Pinara, Letoon and Xanthos are samples of the mysterious Lycian Period, bewitching the addicts of history and archaeology. After trekking across the 18 km. long shore of Patara and visiting the ancient city, you may stop for a rest at Kalkan and Kas.
The trekking route on the Lycian Road is on the chain of paths joining the city-states within the Lycian Federal Union established thousands of years ago. In other words, trekking on this route is like a walk within a time tunnel existing between the depths of history and the present day. A group led by an experienced guide or an individual trekking has become a safe holiday activity, supported by a project pursuant to a competition by the name of "4 lights into future". Upon completion of route established between Fethiye and Antalya by road signs indicating direction and information, a similar work is under way to enliven the route between Fethiye and Marmaris.
