Formerly known as ANATOLIA and regarded as the 'cradle of civilisation' Turkey is a land of treasures with one of the most beautiful coastlines in the Mediterranean. A country offering an exotic blend of culture, traditions and renowed hospitality, coupled with miles and miles of sandy beaches, a fabulous climate, spectacular mountain ranges, ancient sites, hidden gorges and exciting cosmopolitan cities. Geographically diverse with snow-capped mountains in the east, lush green valleys and rich fertile agricultural lands in the west with a temperate climate in the north, the southern coast of Turkey is hot and dry with the spectaular Taurus mountain range stretching the length from Olu Deniz to Adana.

Once a sleepy village in the mountains, Hisaronu is now one of Turkey's top holiday destinations! Close to Olu Deniz the resort is largely unspoilt and surrounded by breathtaking beauty, with stunning mountain backdrops and pine clad forests, Hisaronu has an irresistible charm all of its own. With its many shops, bars and restaurants offering culinary delights, both Turkish and International cuisine, as well as its bustling weekly market which sells just about everything, the atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming. Strict conservation ensures buildings are kept to a 2 storey maximum, so no high-rise here!

Olu Deniz: One of Turkey's most famous and photographed beaches, with crystal clear turquoise waters and gentle lapping waves, where the line between the sea and sky blends into one. Mother Nature's finishing touch was to surround this 'heaven on earth' with a spectacular mountain and pine forest backdrop. At the far end of the beach you will find the 'lagoon' set inside a national park area. Not visible from the open sea the lagoon is very sheltered with still, warm waters, absolutely perfect for those looking for a bit of escapism! Further along from Olu Deniz is another beach called 'Kidrak', quiet and secluded with a woodland area perfect for picnics.

This stretch of the Turkish coastline is known as the Turkish Riviera or Turquoise Coast and stretches from Fethiye in the west right through to the Syrian border in the east. Without doubt one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline anywhere in the Mediterranean. The area from Fethiye to Kemer is known as Lycia and has Turkey's most dramatic coastline with mountains falling away into cystal clear seas.

Summer temperatures average 30 - 40 c with a winter average of 15 c. Rainfall is mainly during the months from December to February. The village of Hisaronu is located on a plateau 1,000 ft above sea level under mount Babadag (father mountain). All around there are magnificent views of pine clad mountains. During the summer months there is usually a cooling breeze coming up from the sea. Fethiye the main market town of the area is about 7 kms and the famous beach at Oludeniz is about 4 kms from the village. Rhodes is about 80 kms by sea from Fethiye.
