The village is on a small plateau at the foot of Babadag Mountain, a favourite spot for paragliders. You can head to the open-air market on Mondays in Hisaronu where you can pick up fresh local food and handmade goods, or drive ten minutes to Oludeniz and swim in the famous blue lagoon or relax on Belcekiz Beach, with crystal-clear waters and a soft, white sandy shoreline. The vibrant and lively town of Fethiye is also just ten minutes away by car, and there you'll find a shopping centre, alongside more shops, restaurants and cultural sites. Head to the harbour lined with restaurants overlooked by rock tombs including the 4th-century B.C. Tomb of Amyntas. There's also an amazing fish market where you chose your fish from one of the many fishermen and then have it cooked by one of the surrounding restaurants, served with your selection of mezes you chose from the fridge. Visit the Tuesday market selling everything from handmade rugs to produce. You can also sample delicious gozleme (thin dough crepes) cooked by headscarfed ladies sat over a steaming griddle and then finish off your day at one of the Turkish Baths for a relaxing massage or detox in the Iznik tiled hamam. Further afield, you can visit Butterfly Valley (about 24km from Fethiye) – a serene nature reserve that's home to diverse butterfly species.
