Oludeniz is indescribably beautiful!
This picture of my husband and I enjoying the view, was taken by my good friend Asli, over the weekend.
The setting is incredible, the way the high mountains taper down into the crystal clear waters of Oludeniz. Every day, no matter the weather conditions, you are guaranteed a spectacular view. Of course the Best view is from above! Oludeniz is a haven for Paraglidingers and Babadag at almost 2000m is a world renowned take off destination all year round.Some days the the sea is a bit choppy but on other days like yesterday, its as calm and as still as a lake! Its especially lovely now in November, when the beach is less crowded. I love summer and I love the tourists, I mean I am a foreigner, and this is a touristic destination after all, but there is a certain amount of gratification having the beach to ourselves.
The weather is very favorable this time of the year and although its a bit chilly for me, many people still swim! Its nice to pack a little picnic and head to the beach for a few hours. Its warm enough in the sun, and sitting around with good friends, some snacks and maybe a beer or two its not long till we pull up our skirts and show some leg😉
The kids play in the sand or on the grass with their friends. If we haven't already arranged to meet up with our friends, its almost guaranteed that we will run into someone we know there. If not, its a perfect opportunity to make new ones.Everyones out and about. Its great to see all the little fishing boats scattered around the bay! Lots of new families taking their babies for a stroll along the promenade. Mom, getting some much needed fresh air and Dad, proudly pushing the stroller or running after the little terrors. I mean babies, and on the beach, someones throwing a stick for the loyal family dog. Many people bring their kayaks and stand up paddles and do a little tour around the bay. life here on Sundays is idyllic really. Like a picture postcard!
We are really lucky to live here and I am grateful everyday for this opportunity. I wouldn't want my daughter growing up any where else! There is a sense of freedom here that I haven't felt anywhere else. I love the fact that I'm not constantly looking over my shoulder to see where my daughter is or what she's doing,or who shes talking to. I love being able to leave my bag and picnic basket and go for a walk knowing that it will still be there when I return.Living here in Fethiye and having the opportunity to come to Oludeniz is most definitely a great reason to smile!
