Öludeniz.

    Coming down to the bay.



    Traffic jam, must be a popular place.

    Main street?

    Cozy little hotels.









    mm, nice spot for a beach.

    Just a few restaurants, no huge hotels or discos.

    Hot.

    Öludeniz means "dead sea".







    3 quick beers later.

    The western tip and the blue lagoon is a nature reserve. Entrance fee 6 lira.





    Walkway from entry.

    Mount Babadag is 1969 m (6460 ft) high.



    aaah, nice dip in the Med!

    But I wouldn't call it "sand". More like "hot and painful granite".



    Start of the nature reserve.

    Very busy.

    Blue lagoon.





    hmm, where to find a spot to sit...

    Apparently people camp too.





    Crowded.

    Nice water.



    They dug a hole.

    To trap some fish.

    Nope, no room here either.

    aaah, this is better.
