Ovacik

To meet with the sea in an evening...To feel the deep blue sky within your hands... To dance with the sweet Mediterranean winds and to leave your foot traces on the sand...Ölüdeniz, “The Gates of Paradise” ÖLÜDENİZ, “The Beach of Freedom”...  

Ölüdeniz, with its sheltered calm waters and the adjoining Belcekız Beach bring together the white foams of the Mediterranean and the green of the pine trees. 

The favourite of world tourism, Ölüdeniz Kumburnu Park and the Belcekız Beach are at a distance of 15 km. to the city centre of Fethiye, located at the foot of Babadağ, deemed a “world heritage” with its rich flora and facilities for paragliding. The trip you undertake to reach this splendid panorama offers you two special alternatives for your holiday; Ovacık and Hisarönü villages. 

Ovacık and Hisarönü are two attractive villages, 4 km. from Ölüdeniz, where you can stay, enjoy yourself and have a rest in the sweet breeze from Babadağ, covered with pine forests, on hot summer days. With their hotels, restaurants, bars, entertainment and shopping centres, and warm-hearted, hospitable residents, Ovacık and Hisarönü are also the starting points of holidaymakers, trekking on the Lycian Road. 

Ovacık, Hisarönü and Ölüdeniz region has an accommodation capacity of 20.000 beds. You can choose between first-class holiday villages, small boarding houses and camping sites of all standards. The fact that the temperature of the sea during winter is never below 19 degrees and the night-and-day average temperature in the region is 12 degrees is a reason for your preference to spend your winter holiday at Ölüdeniz. 

The Belcekız Beach, besides the sea, the sand and the sun, offers you all kinds of facilities for water sports. Similarly, you can join the daily boat tours, starting from the beach, discovering other splendors around Ölüdeniz and, participating in a mini blue voyage, you can witness how the boundless blue of the Mediterranean becomes the green of the Taurus Mountains along the shore. 

The best samples of the Mediterranean flora of approximately 10.000 species blossom at the slopes of Babadağ. At an altitude of 1.975 meters, Babadağ is also a favourite jumping centre for paragliders all over the world. The trip of paragliders, floating bird-like in the sky, landing on the white, soft sands of the Belcekız Beach is a real adrenalin feast, not only for participants but also for spectators. 

Ölüdeniz, with its splendid natural beauty as well as its ecological values, is one of the symbols the world has come to know about Turkey.  The pure white sandy beach of 2 kms. and the Kumburnu Forestry Park are looked after with great care, and with new infrastructure arrangements and enhanced service quality, it is aimed to have the “blue flag” fluctuate in the region forever. 

Holiday at Ölüdeniz is out of this world...

Please inform us of your flight numbers and arrival and departure times. 

Party Size:
At no time must any more persons occupy a property than agreed at the time of booking, except with prior written agreement. Property owners, their agents or Fethiye Holiday Homes reserve the right to refuse admittance if this condition is not observed. 

Arrival:
Immediately upon arrival at your holiday home please familiarize yourself with the layout of the property and identify any potential hazards e.g. unexpected steps, slippery surfaces etc. Please also read fully the Welcome book provided for the house. 

Insurance & Safety:
Holiday, personal and travel insurance is essential for your own protection and we strongly recommend that you and all members of your party be suitably insured including the conditions of holiday homes. The owner and the Property Management Company acting as their agents cannot be held responsible for personal injury or accident however caused and therefore advice guests to have full holiday insurance. We have no system to offer holiday homes with an insurance package to our clients. 

Payment
Payments should be made in accordance with the instructions sent with our confirmation. Where a property is held with a deposit rather than full payment then the balance must be received at least 8 weeks before arrival. If full payment is not received by that time we will re-advertise the property and you will lose your deposit. 

Breakages, Damage and Property Care:
We trust you to report to us any breakages or damage and request that the property is left in a clean and tidy state. You will be required to pay for any repairs, replacements or extra cleaning as necessary. 

Noise and Disruption:
Most of our apartments and villas are in residential areas, so please respect your neighbours and keep noise to a minimum. If we receive any complaints regarding noise or disruptive behaviour, or there are any illegal activities (drugs, smuggling, guns etc…) we reserve the right to evict you from the property. Should this extreme situation occur you will not be offered a refund or any alternative accommodation. 

Special Requests:
We will do our best to meet any ‘special’ requests you may have, however, we cannot make any guarantees. 

Property Standards:
We have carefully selected and inspected all the properties that we advertise and we endeavour to maintain high standards. However, inevitably, items break or require maintenance, therefore please be aware that you may encounter maintenance staff during your stay. Please also remember that these are private homes-please leave the villa in a reasonably clean and tidy condition. We reserve the right to charge for extra cleaning if necessary. This will be deducted from your security deposit. 

Problems with property:
If you have a problem during your holiday, immediately inform Fethiye Holiday Homes who will then endeavour to put things right. You can find the emergency telephone number in the Welcome book provided. If you fail to do this we cannot accept responsibility, as we have not had the opportunity to investigate and rectify the problem. Problems affecting your stay will always be treated the same day although there may be times, such as weekends and public holidays, when repairs may take longer. 

Call out charges:
We are contactable 24 hours a day on our emergency help line number, should you require our help, however should we be called out to the property as a result of your own negligence, the home owner may see fit to charge you a call out fee. 

Pools:
Most are usually maintained and in commission from May to October (although some are maintained year round) Sometimes pool equipment breaks or needs maintenance. We cannot be held responsible if a pool is not in commission due to circumstances beyond our control though every effort will be made to solve any problem as quickly as possible. Use of swimming pool is at guests own risk and we specifically request the supervision of children at all times whilst in the pool area.

You are responsible for the keys whilst they are in your possession and for their safe return to Fethiye Holiday Homes. Our Welcome book may include certain instructions relating to your property and the safe use of equipment etc. which must be followed.

Damage Deposit:
The majority of our guests are civilized, have a great holiday and leave the properties reasonably clean and tidy. Unfortunately there will always be a minority who will abuse hospitality. Of course we understand accidental damage may occur, however, we are also concerned with properties which require excessive cleaning after stays. With this in mind we require a modest security deposit at all properties. Assuming the property has been left in a reasonably tidy condition, and there are no breakages, your deposit will be returned to you between 7-10 days after your holiday. 

Pets:
No pets are allowed in the properties unless stated. 

Smoking:
It is forbidden to smoke inside any of our properties. 

Alternative Accommodations:
We reserve the right to provide alternative accommodation if due to circumstances beyond our control, a property is unavailable for occupancy. In these circumstances the alternative accommodation will be comparable to the property contracted. In certain circumstances when we are unable to offer alternative accommodation, and at our own discretion, we may pay for emergency accommodation, the total cost of which will not be more than the cost of the contracted accommodation. 

General:
All our houses are prepared with every care, but remember they are private houses and not hotels. They are taken at guests own risk and the villa owners are not liable for damages or injury to person or any property belonging to any person. In consideration of the fact that we act only as booking agents, no liability is accepted whatsoever for any aspect of the arrangements and, in particular, for any loss, personal injury or death however incurred.
