Hisarönü
Hisaronu exists to service the tourist trade and is popular with domestic and international tourists. There are a few people here, like Jeanette - owner of the Rainbow restaurant - who can still remember when there were only 3 hotels here but things have changed a little since then and rapid growth in the last decade has led to a bustling, and sometimes confusing collection of tour operators, hotels, pensions and shops.
Hisaronu, and the Fethiye area in general, are blessed with a rugged and beautiful landscape, the potential of which for activity holidays (and holiday activites) is just being realised. Hisaronu is special because its location means that you can paraglide in Oludeniz one day, canoe down the Xanthos river to Patara the next, paintball in the pine forests of Kaya Koyu and still take an overnight trip to the classical ruins of Ephesus. The area is nice if you just want to relax on the beach or by the hotel pool but to get the most out of your trip you ought to consider moving around a little bit.
To get to Hisaronu you must first get to Fethiye, after that it's easy. You can catch a dolmus pretty much all day from Fethiye to Hisaronu and/or back again, these dolmuses then go on to Oludeniz. The journey takes about 15 mins tops.
It can be a little daunting choosing a hotel, a restaurant or a tour operator from the many that line the streets of Hisaronu and to help you out a little bit we've provided some information about people who we've found offer good value and a professional service.
