Side to Ölüdeniz Blue Lagoon Transfer & Day Trip
205 km, about 3 hours 15 minutes each way, private car from €165 — the Blue Lagoon and paragliding capital.
Ölüdeniz is the picture-postcard of the Turkish coast — a sheltered turquoise lagoon of impossibly clear water curled behind a spit of white sand, backed by pine-clad Babadağ mountain, from which tandem paragliders drift down over the beach all day. It is the single most photographed spot on the Aegean-Mediterranean coast and, with nearby Fethiye and the Blue Lagoon nature park, a bucket-list day out. It lies about 205 kilometres west of Side, roughly a 3-hour-15-minute drive. Our private transfer takes you there and back at a fixed price for a long but unforgettable full day.
What to expect
- A scenic 3h15 drive west from Side along the coast past Kaş and Fethiye to Ölüdeniz.
- Door-to-door pickup from your Side hotel with an English-speaking driver.
- A comfortable air-conditioned Mercedes V-Class or Vito for up to 6 passengers.
- The driver waits while you enjoy the lagoon, the beach and — if you wish — a paraglide off Babadağ.
- A fixed price agreed at booking — no meter, no surprises; a long but bucket-list full-day trip.
Pricing & Vehicles
Side to Ölüdeniz is a fixed price from €165 in a Business V-Class or Vito for up to 6 passengers, covering the round trip and the driver's waiting time. There is no meter; the fare is agreed at booking. Lagoon nature-park entry, sunbeds, paragliding and boat trips are paid separately on site. Because this is a long full-day excursion (about 6.5 hours of driving round trip), a very early start is essential.
