Attractions

The Hotel Everest is well situated for everything you need for a perfect, relaxing holiday.

The sandy beach resort of Ölüdeniz is just a 10 minute ride via the cheap local bus service (called the dolmuþ) where you can enjoy everything from water sports and boat trips to simply bathing in the world famous Blue Lagoon.

A 10 minute stroll from the Hotel will bring you to the local village of Hisarönü where you’ll find dozens of restaurants and bars representing just about every possible cuisine imaginable - Mexican, Italian, Chinese and Indian - as well as plenty of Turkish and English restaurants. 

The market town of Fethiye with its impressive harbour and marina is just a short bus ride away for all those shopping necessities.  The weekly market is well worth a visit to sample the authentic Turkish atmosphere, and to put your haggling skills to good use!

Turkey also has a rich and varied history and whilst visiting the country you may like to take the opportunity to view a sample of it’s cultural heritage.  Excursions can be arranged from the Hotel to Ephesus, Parmukkale and other sites of interest.

If history isn’t your thing then other trips and attractions are available; an all-day jeep safari is a real thrill and a great opportunity to get to see local beauty spots such as Saklýkent Gorge and Patara Beach (voted the world’s finest beach by English travel writers).  Horse riding along the lagoon in the early morning is a fantastic experience, as is scuba diving in the crystal clear waters around Fethiye.

Ölüdeniz is also one of the world’s finest paragliding centres.  Novices can be driven up to the top of Mount Babadað and, after proper tuition, fly in tandem with a qualified instructor to land on Ölüdeniz beach some 1970 m below!

Another experience that you must try whilst on holiday is the Turkish bath or Hamam.  It’s particularly recommended at the start of your holiday to soothe away the stresses of UK life and to prepare your body and mind for the relaxation to come, and its said that it helps you retain your tan for longer too!
