Situated
on a high plateau 4km from the coast and surrounded by stunning mountains, the
once sleepy villages of Hisaronu and Ovacik have combined to create a lively
resort which has a distinctly British atmosphere. The nearest beaches are the
famous lagoon of Oludeniz or the pebble and sand beach of Belcekiz. A dolmus
leaves every five or ten minutes.
The village is full of bars, restaurants and shops. This is certainly the place
to haggle for any imitation designer gear. The cool mountain air can be quite
a relief after a day in the sun and there is plenty to do in the evening.
Hisaronu,
and the Fethiye area in general, are blessed with a rugged and beautiful landscape,
the potential of which for activity holidays (and holiday activites) is just
being realised. Hisaronu is special because its location means that you can
paraglide in Oludeniz one day, canoe down the Xanthos river to Patara the next,
paintball in the pine forests of Kaya Koyu and still take an overnight trip
to the classical ruins of Ephesus.
The area is nice if you just want to relax on the beach or by the hotel pool
but to get the most out of your trip you ought to consider moving around a little
bit.
There are variety of hotels, villas & aparts in the area, from simple family
run to luxury hill top hotels with views of Olu deniz beach below. Please check
the hotels in hisaronu section to view the
hotel accommodation options in the resort of Hisaronu.
