Entry note: Village free; paragliding and cable car priced separately.
Ovacık straddles the road up to Ölüdeniz, with pensions, trekking shops, and restaurants that serve the Lycian Way crowd. Paragliding companies collect passengers here before the run up Babadağ; walkers stock up before the climb toward Kirme or the coastal path. It is not scenic in itself, but it is the practical hub for active days.
“To stage a Lycian Way section or paragliding day without staying on the Ölüdeniz strip.”
Local tip
Stay here instead of Ölüdeniz if you want quieter nights but still walk to the lagoon in 30 minutes downhill.
Accessibility
Steep village roads; shops on main street mostly level.
