Tolay Hotel - Activities

Lycian Way

The Lycian way is a 509 km way-marked footpath around the coast of Lycia in southern Turkey, from Fethiye to Antalya. The route is graded medium to hard; it is not level walking, but has many ascents and descents as it approaches and veers away from the sea. It is easier at the start near Fethiye and gets more difficult as it progresses. We recommend walking the route in spring or autumn; February-May or September-November; summer in Lycia is hot, although you could walk short, shady sections. The route is mainly over footpaths and mule trails; it is mostly over limestone and often hard and stony underfoot.

Butterfly Valley

Butterfly Valley is a great day trip for our guests. It is home to the unique Jersey Tiger butterfly. Between June and September, butterflies in thousands of colours and countless varieties can be seen here. This valley is an interesting canyon with steep cliffs up to 350 meters high and stretches back from the cove some 3-4 kilometers. To get to Butterfly Valley, you can take a boat from either Oludeniz or Fethiye Taxi boats leave from Ölüdeniz three times a day in both directions - an alternative for the adventurous and well-shod hiker is to follow the steep and rocky slope down from the upper rim of the valley, following the footpath from in front of our motel (gauge about 30 min.). Butterfly Valley with it`s untouched nature, most amazing beach and basic facilities (no electricity, tv or any earthly possesions) - only a small restaurant and simple beach huts - is a total relaxation destination.

Paragliding

Flying tandem with high experienced licensed pilots from Babadağ (1975 mt.) to Belcekız Beach in 30—40 minutes with enjoying fantastic view of Ölüdeniz. From the hotel to the take off place is about 45 min. Jeep ride on the slope of the mountain. After getting your equipment on, all you have to do is to run a few steps along with the wind and than let yourself go in to the sky. Adrenaline and freedom.
