Dalyan is one of the most unique and beautiful corners of the world, famous for its stunning Turtle Beach, impressive Lycian Rock Tombs, rejuvenating mud baths, and natural thermal springs.

This unforgettable excursion offers breathtaking scenery for all age groups as you sail along the Dalyan River, winding through reed-covered channels, peaceful meadows, cypress trees, and colourful flowers.

The journey to Dalyan takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes by coach. The rest of the day is spent on a traditional river boat.

Our first stop is the famous Sultaniye Thermal Springs, known for its natural sulphur mud baths and thermal waters. Here you can cover yourself from head to toe in therapeutic mud, said to make you feel years younger.

During the day, you may also have the opportunity to spot the famous Loggerhead Sea Turtle (Caretta Caretta turtles) in their natural habitat.

After the mud bath visit, we stop at a riverside restaurant for lunch before continuing by boat to the beautiful İztuzu Beach, a stunning 7 km stretch of sandy beach that serves as a protected nesting and breeding ground for loggerhead turtles. One side of the beach meets the Mediterranean Sea, while the other borders the fresh waters of the river delta.

On the way to the beach, you will also see the remarkable Lycian Rock Tombs, carved into the cliffs around 400 BC and once used as burial chambers for Lycian kings and queens. Our tour guide will explain the fascinating history throughout the trip.

A day filled with magical highlights and unforgettable memories awaits you.
