绚丽多彩的海滩

当你正为美丽的海滩感到流连忘返时，不妨再去山上看看吧。欧鲁旦尼斯是世界上最妙的滑翔地点之一。你可以从距离海边仅3英里的巴巴达山滑翔而下，一路欣赏潟湖、海滩、爱琴海和地中海，以及远方优美的山峰和谷地。降落后，你还可以去奇妙的蝴蝶谷旅行。要去蝴蝶谷不难，只需坐一艘出租船，或者顺着沿海公路自驾。抵达蝴蝶谷后，你或许会在徒步穿越天然峡谷时偶遇各种各样的蝴蝶。无论通过海陆空哪种方式，你都可以在这美丽的地方欣赏大自然和丰富的生物多样性。

A beach of many colors. Ölüdeniz, Turkey

Whether you love snorkeling, scuba diving, swimming, paragliding, or simply soaking up some sun, Ölüdeniz on Turkey's Turquoise Coast will fit the bill. The name of the village and beach—Ölüdeniz—literally means 'Dead Sea,' a reference to the calm water, but it's better known as Turkey's Blue Lagoon for the stretch of tranquil waters set off from the ocean by a long sandbar. Much of the area is protected inside a national park, and the Ölüdeniz beach proudly holds the Blue Flag certification by the Foundation for Environmental Education, which recognizes high environmental and quality standards.

When you're all beached out, head for the hills. Ölüdeniz is one of the best paragliding spots in the world, so launch yourself from the impressive Mount Babadağ—just 3 miles from the seaside—and enjoy spectacular views of the lagoon, the beach, the Aegean and Mediterranean seas, and the scenic hills and valleys fading into the distance. Once you're back on solid ground, take a trip to the marvelous Butterfly Valley—it's easy, just jump on a taxi boat or drive the lovely local road that hugs the coast. Hopefully you'll spot a variety of butterflies as you hike through the natural canyon. By air, land, or sea, the options to celebrate nature and diversity are seemingly limitless in this gorgeous part of the world.
