An ideal base for holidays to Hisaronu
Hisaronu Nestles in the hills above Turkey’s most famous beach (the Blue Lagoon at Olu Deniz), Hisaronu is a great place to relax and as a home from which to explore the Turquoise coast and the beautiful combination of forest, mountains, beaches and ancient history that makes this such a wonderful area to visit. The village is some 1500 metres above sea level which makes it a few degrees cooler than the surrounding area of Olu Deniz and Fethiye, which can be very welcoming at the end of a hot summer day. Thoughtful planning ensures that no buildings in the village are over three storeys high, which helps to retain the character and ensure that all enjoy unspoilt views of the surroundings.
Hisaronu whilst compact offers a wide range of shops, bars and restaurants to suit every taste, and Turkey still remains great value for money compared with most European holiday resorts. It is possible to get everything in the village, which has a good supermarket (called Azda, would you believe!) , a post office, several cash machines, and a good local market on Monday.
As a holiday base it excels, surrounded on three sides by mountains and pine forest it is an excellent location for walking, and offers many facilities for the more active including jeep safari's, pony trekking, quad biking and parascending. The world famous beach at Olu Deniz can be reached by a walk through the forest or by Dolmus in ten minutes. Kayaköy is fifteen minutes away and the bustling port town of Fethiye only twenty minutes away.
Travel agents based in Hisaronu can arrange day trips or longer to all of the many historical sites or to countless natural beauty spots. |
