Ovacik, an area of southwestern Turkey, and part of the stunning Fethiye district sits in the mountains and enjoys a lovely welcome breeze throughout summer, prompting slightly cooler temperatures than coastal resorts at sea level.
Once an unknown, small farming village, the landscape consisted of old stone houses and dirt track roads with fields of grazing livestock and olive trees. These days, the landscape view has changed dramatically, as the village advanced and modernised to become a favourite place for foreign property buyers.
Property for sale in Ovacik ranges from modern apartments to luxurious villas and its location on a small plateau at the foot of Mount Babadag, means most homes have stunning views of nature.
Things to Do in Ovacik
Life in Ovacik is never dull, especially for families, because of several water parks, a mini-golf course, go-cart tracks, and a paintball arena. For those who want to avoid the intense excitement, trails through the shaded woodland lead to the nearby Kayakoy ghost village with its ancient Greek houses, church and school.
One of the newest attractions, especially for children, is the new Adventure Park found halfway between Ovacik and Fethiye. Assault courses, rope swings and tree houses are all shaded from the sun because of the forest location, and adults can sit back and enjoy the shade with a refreshing drink while the kids run wild.
