A short bus ride away, nestling in the foothills of the mountains, is the leafy resort town of Hisaronu and the more residential area of Ovacik. Hotels and apartments nestle discreetly among the pine clad slopes where gentle, balmy breezes keep the temperature a few degrees cooler than the coast during the hot summer months. This area is very popular with British tour operators and the town centre comes to life at night as holidaymakers of all ages enjoy the lively atmosphere of the numerous late-night shops, bars and restaurants.
