Butterfly Valley:
Butterfly Valley is a great day trip from
Oludeniz. 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 "George House,"
on the road to Faralya/Kabak (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.
