ITINERARY
- We pick you up from your hotel between 08:00-09:00 in the morning and our tour begins. Our Dalyan Tour starts with a half-hour bus ride after we pick you up from your accommodation in Fethiye. You can also see Sülüngür Lake on the Dalyan road with a breathtaking view, passing through forests full of pine and sweetgum trees.
- We get on our boats in Dalyan and go to our first stop, the junction point of Dalyan and Köyceğiz Lake, and pause here for 10 minutes to be informed about the interesting history of Köyceğiz Lake. Then, with a short boat ride, we go to Sultaniye Mud Bath right on the shore of the lake. Sultaniye Thermal Spring / Mud Bath, which has been the oldest and most active bath in the region for thousands of years since the Lycian period, is described as the best among the mud baths in the region. There are several hot water pools here that smell strongly of sulfur, and these pools have many healing properties. When you enter these pools, you will feel like you are reborn, your skin will feel younger and smoother, and you will feel more relaxed and healthy as toxins are removed from your body.
- After our break in the Mud Bath, we move on to our open buffet restaurant by the water. Here, we continue our tour after having lunch by choosing the dishes you want from the rich menu options that suit your taste.
- After the lunch break, we board our boat again and sail out to the canal. The view of the Rock Tombs from the ancient trade city of Kaunos, which you will see on the canal on your way to Iztuzu Beach, will fascinate you. During a short stop in this part of our tour, we will learn more about the Rock Tombs from our tour guide.
- After our stop at the rock tombs, we go to Iztuzu Beach, where the Dalyan river meets the sea, for a 1.5-hour swimming and rest break. If you are lucky, you may come across the Caretta caretta turtle, the 2nd largest hard-shelled sea turtle in the world, in its natural environment. Although there is not enough scientific evidence, it is estimated that the Caretta caretta turtle has existed and reproduced in the region for 40 million years. Keep your cameras ready at all times, because you never know when you'll get the chance to take a picture of this magnificent creature!
- Here, hop onto your coach and relax on your ride back to Fethiye, where your trip ends with a hotel drop-off. Please note: The order of activities as described above may be subject to change on the day of your tour.
