Hi Bim
You will find it a totally different place out-of-season. All bar a couple of places in Hisaronu and Olu Deniz closed and very cold!  Important to check what the heating arrangements are - central heating or enough airconditioners with heating capability available.  You may find Fethiye a more lively location as only the Bazaar area tends to close down (and obviously most of the tours).

...and you may also find that up there the air conditioners that do a great job keeping you cool in summer will struggle to keep you warm in winter (unless you sellotape yourself to it).

It can get VERY cold down in Calis on a winter's night and even colder up the hill!

But, it is most definitely the best time to see Ovacik (and Olu Deniz in my opinion) - the days can be very sunny, nice and quiet -  and there are plenty of snowy mountains around.

We went to Olu Deniz in the winter a couple of years ago and there was hardly any Olu Deniz! They had knocked down all the beach front bars and the beach itself resembled a building site, big heaps of sand and cement and masonry. Even the road that goes down to the lagoon had been dug up and there was absolutely nothing open. There were a couple of places open in Hisaronu and it was definately quiet!

I found it freezing in October so I wouldnt be able to stand it any later- and I'm a roughty toughty northerner! Neither could I stand a seaside place 'closed'- it would depress me. Still each to their own.

I got sunburnt at Olu Deniz mid November last year it was beautiful-just chilly at night.
