Encyclopedia
Hisarönü is a tourist resort village in the Fethiye
district of the Muğla Province
of Turkey
. It is situated at the western extreme of the Mediterranean coast of Turkey and the southern extreme of the Aegean
coast. The resort has grown from a very basic village in 1990 to the large resort with its neighbor Ovacık
since then. In 1992, the road through Hisaronu to Kayaköy
was paved for the first time.
Hisaronu was originally intended to provide accommodation for nearby Ölüdeniz
(where new building work is quite restricted). In response to its friendly atmosphere, Hisarönü has become a holiday resort in its own right. It is popular with British holidaymakers in particular.
