As I look through our photos we recently took in Fethiye, I�m still quite impressed by �l� Deniz.
�l� Deniz, which literally translates to �dead sea� in Turkish, is a beautifully, clear lagoon and a small resort village, about 14 km (9 miles) south of Fethiye. It�s a perfect way to spend the afternoon or about six hours like we did during our recent weekend trip to Fethiye.I have to say what was really cool and different about �l� Deniz was watching all the paragliders smoothly sail through the air from the comfort of my beach chair.  |

I�m not sure if I could do this as I�m a bit scared of heights or more the act of jumping off and then being in the air several thousand feet off the ground. However, my husband would do this in a heartbeat. Guess that means we need to make another trip to Fethiye for him. We just didn�t have enough time this trip. |
| In this photo, I count 15 paragliders in the air at the same time! |
The paragliders descend from Babadag (Father Mountain), which apparently has incredible thermals and the ideal conditions for paragliding. Here�s a site that offers paragliding in �l� Deniz. |
| And this is where I was camped out - underneath the beach umbrella! |
Still just a fun activity to observe even when you�re grounded!Check out other things to do in �l� Deniz over at my friends� site - Turkey�s for Life.
