A villa in Ovacik is perfect for travellers looking to get away from it all, to be close to, but not directly in, the action, and to spend lazy days beach hopping and swimming in indigo bays. Set in a valley near the Babadag mountain, Ovacik lies between the bustling town of Fethiye and the idyllic Blue Lagoon, offering peace and tranquillity and a laid-back vibe. The village also has a distinctly British feel due to the large number of expats that call it home. Ovacik has restaurants, so no need to travel far from your Ovacik villa, and is situated close to beaches and some of Europe’s most famous paragliding spots. Families and couples will love an Ovacik villa holiday, with other draws being long summers and cool breezes coming off the nearby mountain.
Things to do in Ovacik
On a villa holiday in Ovacik, you can do as little or as much as you want, with the village offering a great array of things to do, but also positioned near to of the most popular destinations on the Turkish Riviera. Ovacik itself is peaceful, residential and laid-back, all villas with private pools, casual restaurants, hotels and local shops, so it’s worth renting a car if you want something more high-octane or want to visit the beach. Ovacik is just moments from the Turquoise Coast, and with that the idyllic Blue Lagoon with its sun-bleached white sands and indigo waters. Combine a trip to the Blue Lagoon with a stop at one of the area’s many water parks or paragliding spots or dine at one of the many delicious waterfront eateries.
History and culture in Ovacik
Ovacik is a very residential village and activities are mostly centred around eating, drinking, shopping and unwinding, but history and culture lovers will find plenty to do just outside of the town itself. On a villa holiday in Ovacik, it’s easy to head into Fethiye and pay a visit to the Fethiye Museum, which is home to many Lycian artefacts from the Bronze, Archaic, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine days. The museum’s top sight is the important ‘Trilingual Stele’, with inscriptions in Greek, Lycian and Aramaic and used to decipher the Lycian language.
Outside the museum, there’s a charming open-air gallery with lots of unique and fascinating pieces. The ancient cities of Pinara and Tlos and the Fethiye ancient rock tombs are also reachable from our villas in Ovacik.
Family holidays in Ovacik
Our villas in Ovacik are perfect for families, thanks to the peaceful, residential location and many being villas with a private pool. For a great family day out, head to the nearby Blue Lagoon – a Blue Flag beach with protected shallow waters, clean white sands and plenty of fantastic facilities for the family to use. There are also plenty of exciting water parks in the area, with the all-new Olu Deniz Waterworld Aquapark having recently opened in Ovacik. The modern water park has some hair-raising slides and plenty of swimming pools, with shaded areas for adults to sunbathe and read a book. Try one of our family villas with a private pool for even more freedom.
Adventurous activities in Ovacik
There’s plenty to do in Ovacik and the surrounding area, with numerous day trips on offer and dozens of tour operators active in the local area – especially in Fethiye. Book onto a Jeep or quad bike safari or hire a buggy and go off-roading through mountainous terrain – prepare to get muddy. The coast near Ovacik is also pretty famous for watersports and paragliding, and other adventurous things to do in the area include visiting water parks, an adventure park with tree climbing and zip lines and horseback riding.
From your villa in Ovacik, you can also hike part of the famous Lycian Way, a 540km stretch of rugged, coastal path running all along the Dalaman coast from Ovacik to Antalya. The region as a whole is extremely popular with walking groups, who flock to the warm shores from April to see the spring flowers.

Our couples’ villas in Ovacik offer a wildly romantic setting, all beautiful views and protected national forestry, and having an Ovacik villa with a private pool will inject even more romance to your trip.
