Situated
on a high plateau 4km from the coast and surrounded by stunning mountains, the
once sleepy villages of Hisarönü and Ovacik have combined to create
a lively resort which has a distinctly British atmosphere. The nearest beaches
are the famous lagoon of Ölüdeniz 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. One
of the many late-night bars is Hakuna Matata, off the main street, which has
a family bar and satellite TV showing most top matches and videos. Aloha Bar
on the main street has great music and a good atmosphere, as does the Club UK
on the floor below. Grand Boozey Bar has the largest screen TV in resort and
shows regular football matches. At night time it turns into a great disco.
