Beyaz Yunus Lokantası
Set on a stunning terrace overlooking the bay, the Beyaz is famous for its fresh fish and seafood. Sample some of the exquisite seafood mezes such as calamari stuffed with feta, or octopus slow-cooked in red wine. Down some steps is a delightful 'Sunset Bar'- perfect for a pre-dinner aperitif! It's on the Faralya road about 1km from the town centre.

Paragliding
If ever you wanted to jump off a 1960m-high cliff, Ölüdeniz and the imposing Baba Dağ is the perfect place for it. The descent from the mountain can take up to 40 minutes, with amazing views over the Blue Lagoon, Butterfly Valley and, on a clear day, as far as Rhodes.
Various companies offer tandem paragliding flights, but prices can vary between TL100 and TL160. Just ensure the company has insurance and the pilot the appropriate qualifications. Parasailing (TL100) in the park is also possible.

Club Belcekız Beach
Set on a stunning terrace overlooking the sea, the flagship restaurant at this gigantic resort serves a potpourri of cuisines, including Indian and Thai, but by all accounts is more successful with the second. Multicourse set meals are TL47.

Beach & Lagoon
The beach is very much the centre of things here; it's at the bottom of the hill past the package-tour colonies of Ovacik and Hisarönü. Near the junction of the road with a jandarma post and opposite the PTT is the entrance to Ölüdeniz Tabiat Parkı and its lagoon, still a lovely place to while away a few hours on the beach with mountains soaring above you. There are showers, toilets and cafes.
