Hisaronu Beaches For July
Gunluklu Beach
Gunluklu is in the same style as Katranci, another beautiful but slightly more secluded cove, around 19km from Fethiye. You'll need a car to get there as it's quite remote. The cove is perfumed by storax trees, which are so dense that underneath they block out the sky. It's an ideal place for camping under the stars, though there are few amenities such as you find at the busier and more popular sites.
Kidrak Beach

Bars And Restaurants
Servet Turkish Delight Factory
Servet Turkish Delight Factory in Fethiye is a wonderful day out, and a great place to get your fill of this local treat. Otherwise known as "lokum", Turkish delight, is a traditional sweet made of sugar and starch. It is believed that the production goes back to the 15th century.
The ingredients of lokum are sugar, corn starch and water, boiled together with fruits or nuts or flavouring for 1 to 2 hours. This thick sticky liquid is then poured into special wooden trays and sprinkled with corn starch. It stands from 24 to 48 hours until it is cool and has a flexible consistency. Then the starch is brushed off, it is sprinkled with powdered sugar and cut up into small cubes. Apart from plain, there are any number of different varieties: strawberry, cherry, lemon, orange, pistachio, walnut and almond, are traditional and favourite varieties are different in each province.
Shine Indian Restaurant
If you fancy a curry, Shine Indian Restaurant comes highly recommended. Curries are cooked to your taste and the menu features are the usual and familiar varieties. The prices are very reasonable and they cater for both meat eaters and vegetarians. The Baltis are very popular.
The Olive Tree Restaurant
Boasting fine cuisine and excellent service, The Olive Tree Restaurant is one of the most popular eateries in Hisaronu. Only open to diners 14 years and older, this eatery is the place to go if you want to enjoy a sophisticated meal in peace and quiet.
