The Turquoise Coast, the Way It Should Be Seen
Ölüdeniz sits on one of the most breathtaking stretches of coastline on the planet, and this short break gives you the very best of it. Sail past dramatic cliffs and secret coves, ride through mountain villages and canyon country by jeep, then spend a free day doing exactly as much or as little as you please at the legendary Blue Lagoon. Relaxed, beautiful, and precisely what a proper escape should feel like. No intense itinerary, no rushing — just five days of fresh air, warm water, and memories worth collecting. Suitable for adults of all ages, with no experience or special fitness required.
Trip highlights
Sail the Turquoise Coast
Spend a full day aboard a traditional gulet, gliding past towering cliffs and dropping anchor at Butterfly Valley and the luminous Blue Cave.
Canyon Country by Jeep
Buckle up for a high-spirited jeep safari through remote mountain villages before plunging into the cool, turquoise waters of Saklıkent Canyon.
The Blue Lagoon on Your Doorstep
Ölüdeniz's world-famous Blue Lagoon is your playground — swim its impossibly clear waters, lounge on the beach, or simply soak in the view.
Small Group, Big Freedom
With a small group format and an Intoholidays coordinator throughout, you get a personal feel without sacrificing the social energy of shared adventure.
Flexible Add-Ons, Your Way

Welcome to the Turquoise Coast
Touch down at Dalaman and make your way to Ölüdeniz, where the shimmering lagoon and pine-backed beach set the scene from the very first moment. Check in, unpack, and take a gentle stroll to get your bearings before gathering with the group for a welcome dinner. Tonight is all about unwinding, meeting your fellow travellers, and building a little anticipation for the days ahead.
Full Day on the Turquoise Sea
This is what you came for. Step aboard your boat and spend a glorious full day sailing the Turquoise Coast, calling in at the ethereal Blue Cave and the wild, cliff-ringed Butterfly Valley. Swim in waters so clear you can see straight to the sandy floor, sunbathe on deck between stops, and watch the coastline unfold in all its dramatic glory. A day that genuinely lives up to the postcard.
Jeep Safari and Canyon Adventure
Swap the sea for the mountains as your jeep convoy winds up through traditional villages where life moves at an altogether different pace. The real highlight arrives at Saklıkent Canyon — wade through ice-cold river water between towering gorge walls, try a spot of mud bathing, and stop for a locally made gözleme before the convoy rolls back to base. Exhilarating, colourful, and utterly unlike anything else on the trip.
Free Day at the Blue Lagoon
Today belongs entirely to you. The Blue Lagoon stretches out ahead — a sheltered arc of impossibly turquoise water backed by forested mountains, consistently ranked among the world's most beautiful beaches. Swim, paddleboard, or simply stretch out on the sand with a good book. Thrill-seekers can arrange a paraglide launch from Babadağ for a bird's-eye view of the lagoon, while others might head into Fethiye for a Turkish hammam or an afternoon of browsing the market.
Farewells and Fond Memories
Enjoy a final breakfast with the group and take one last look at that extraordinary coastline before checking out. Transfers head to Dalaman airport, giving you just enough time to pick up a jar of local honey or a bottle of olive oil to carry a little of Türkiye home with you. Until next time.
