Top Active Leisure Sport in Turkey

Bring your own gear if you can! Rental prices can add up, and it’s just more comfortable to use what you’re used to.

Make sure to explore the little side streets in Oludeniz for cheaper eateries. I found some hidden gems serving authentic Turkish meals that were way less expensive than the tourist traps by the beach

Bring your own beach chair if you can... Renting one can eat into your budget, but laying on a towel can feel a bit rough after a while on the sand

I think it’s totally worth getting up super early for the sunrise flights. Watching the sky light up while floating over the fairy chimneys is just unforgettable!

I recommend booking your hot air balloon ride well in advance especially during peak season. It can fill up quickly and you don’t want to miss out on this incredible experience!

My advice is to wear comfortable shoes. You’ll be walking around a lot and if you’re planning to ride, you’ll want shoes that won’t slip easily. Trust me, blisters are no fun!

I think it's key to arrive around 10 am for the best experience. That's when the riding classes start, and you can catch the horses and trainers in action before the heat kicks in.
