Ovacik is a peaceful residential area of Fethiye on Turkey's stunning south-west turquoise coastline, nestled in the hillsides above the famous beach resort of Oludeniz with its calm Blue Lagoon and the busy harbour town of Fethiye.
Ovacik was once a quiet, traditional farming village with a splattering of farmhouses and dirt tracks for roads, with the one main road leading down the mountain to the beach at Oludeniz. Today the peaceful village has seen much development, meeting the demands of many overseas buyers. Luxury villas in private plots with large swimming pools, villas on complexes with huge communal pools, and private apartments on modern complexes have all risen from the hillsides making Ovacik a resort in its own right yet still retaining its stunning beauty and laid-back atmosphere, with some of the old farmhouses still standing today and still inhabited by the local people.
As the village has grown over recent years, so have the amenities; Ovacik now has a great selection of excellent quiet restaurants serving an array of international menus from traditional Turkish dishes to a tasty Thai curry, with some offering free home delivery for those that want a lovely relaxed evening in the balcony. Ovacik can also offer plenty of relaxing bars perfect for a nice quiet drink with friends, unlike the bars in the neighboring resort of Hisaronu, which are more focused on loud music and entertainment. Shopping facilities are also excellent, with lots of local shops and a host of low-cost supermarkets, a far cry from the days when a trip to Fethiye was needed to pick up the weekly grocery supplies.
