Fethiye Turkey - property and information
Loctated
on a high plateau four kilometres from the coast and nestling at
the foot of the pine-clad Babadag Mountain – a famous paragliding
spot – the once sleepy village of Ovacik, along with its neighbour
Hisaronu, has transformed into a bustling, resort with a distinctly
British atmosphere.
The nearest beaches are the famous Blue Lagoon of Oludeniz – possibly the most photographed and iconic in Turkey – and the pebble and sand beach of Belcekiz. Both are around a five-minute journey by dolmus (local bus), which leave every ten minutes.
Property in the region range from two-bedroom new-build apartments from around £90,000, to £150,000 upwards for detached four- and five-bedroom villas with private pools.
Properties in Fethiye tend to offer good value for money here, as the beachfront premium doesn'’t apply, despite the proximity of several great beaches.
If the nightlife gets a little sedate, the lively town of Fethiye is about 10 kilometres to the north.
Tourism
In common with the surrounding resorts, the main season runs from April until October, with July and August being the busiest months. Rental occupation of around 20 to 25 weeks can be expected.
Transport
Dalaman
is the nearest airport, 35 kilometres to the north-east. You can
fly here from most major UK airports, either by charter or scheduled
service from the likes of BA, Turkish Airways, Excel Airlines and
Avro. There is no public transport from the airport so the journey
to Ovacik will have to be made by taxi or car hire.
Facilities:
Village shops, paragliding, walking, mountain and forest scenery, boat trips and diving from Oludeniz
