Holiday destination: Hisaronu


Hisaronu is a beautiful resort village in the Fethiye district of the Mugla Province of Turkey. With mountains surrounding the whole area, the village has some of the best views of any holiday resort. The temperature in Hisaronu is very high, both times I have visited it has easily reached around 45 degrees. 
With a large choice of shops, bars and restaurants, the village is very popular with both tourists and locals. In the day time, Hisaronu is a lovely town to look around, do some shopping and grab a light lunch or drink. However, as the sun sets, the night definitely comes alive. The bars have great deals on drinks and no matter what your age, there is something fun for everyone. From fire dancers to late-night restaurants, rooftop clubs to shisha lounges, all of the family will enjoy the evening entertainment in Fethiye. And for those who don't enjoy partying or drinking, the shops stay open late so you can still enjoy the great atmosphere.


One great thing about the location of Hisaronu is the access to other places and the excursions that are available to you. The first time I visited Hisaronu, we went on a jeep safari which included visiting mud baths, Patara beach, Saklikent Gorge and Yakapark Trout Farm. It was a brilliant day out, in tranquil surroundings. 
Last year, we decided to go on the 12 island boat trip, which I wasn't particularly looking forward to. However, it was one of my favourite days of the holiday. A relaxing and peaceful day, with a great opportunity to top up my tan! When we stopped at each island, we could get off the boat and have a swim around; even jump off the top deck if we were brave enough. We also spend a day at the local aqua park, with slides and pools to relax in and have a bit of fun. 
All excursions have their own photographer too; at the end of the day you take a look at all of the photos and can buy the set. We did this both times, we didn't have any time to take photos and he documented both trips for us, the photos turned out great.
I would highly recommend all excursions as they were so much fun and didn't cost much at all!




Hisaronu is also only a 20 minute dolmus ride away from Fethiye, the closest city. Tuesday is the day to pick if you want to take a trip there as it's market day; you'll be right amongst the hustle and bustle of local traders and customers. It's a brilliant time to grab a few bargains and to take a look at the 'genuine fake' goods, as well as the locally made and sourced products.
As well as this, Fethiye itself is a beautiful city, with many different parts to it. Get lost in the side streets and find yourself a hidden cafe, or take a look in some of Turkey's high-street stores, where clothes and leather goods are at some of their best prices.

If you're after another way to top up your tan and visiting another village, then take a trip to Oludeniz. A 5 minute dolmus ride away lies the picturesque lagoon that is one of the most photographed regions  in the Mediterranean. The village itself is pretty, with bars and cafes running alongside the beach front; perfect for a lunchtime snack or a quick refreshment from that midday sun. If you go to Oludeniz, make sure you take the opportunity to try a watersport; whether it be jet-skiing or a banana boat ride; the lagoon is definitely the place to do it!



I would definitely recommend Hisaronu for a beautiful summer holiday. The excursions, location, temperature and beaches are just some of the reasons that make me want to go back; there is always something to do and whether you're looking to relax or get involved; there is something for everyone and you are sure to enjoy it.
