Dalyan

For a day of lounging in mud baths, wildlife spotting or photographing historic structures, book a boat cruise to Dalyan. This sleepy riverside town east of Marmaris is one of the most picturesque locations in Turkey. See soaring, rock-hewn Lycian tombs and the sandy İztuzu Beach where endangered loggerhead turtles nest (and where hotel development is encroaching). A chance to explore the ruins of the ancient city of Kaunos is also available on selected tours.
