Hisaronu, Dalaman & Turquoise Coast

Hisaronu Overview

Amazing nearby beach: Hisaronu holidays largely became popular as a result of the waves of tourists coming to visit Olu Deniz, the nearby nationally-protected beach.

Peaceful holidays: Perched up among the mountainsides, there’s no denying that Hisaronu is a beautiful, peaceful place. The town has a quaint style of old with wooden huts made for houses and shops set amongst the backdrop of endless rows of peaks and pines. Plus, low prices for food and drink make it an ideal choice for cheap holidays in 2022 to Turkey.

Attractions in Hisaronu

Kayakoy: There aren’t a huge number of historical sites in Hisaronu itself, but Fethiye and Patara are close enough if you’re fascinated by all things ancient. The main area of interest is the abandoned town of Kayakoy. Over 2,000 Greeks lived here until 1923 when they were forced to move due to the Greco-Turkish War. The ruins of churches and houses stand as an eerie monument to the event and UNESCO have even claimed the town as a World Friendship and Peace Village.

Water City: Hisaronu’s very own water park has a selection of twisty colourful slides perfect for fun family holidays! It’s only a short walk from the centre too, so it’s definitely an exciting option if you get bored of the beach.
