A Serene River Cruise and Iztuzu Beach

Our adventure begins as your friendly and knowledgeable tour guide choices you up from your hotel in Kusadasi or Selcuk in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. The scenic drive through the Turkish countryside offers glimpses of rural life and picturesque landscapes.

Upon arriving in Dalyan, we board a private boat for a serene river cruise along the Dalyan River. The calm waters carry us through a picturesque landscape of lush green reed beds and dramatic rocky cliffs. Ancient ruins dot the landscape, hinting at the region's storied past. As we glide along the river, we make our way towards the legendary Iztuzu Beach.

Iztuzu Beach, also known as Turtle Beach, is a protected natural sanctuary and a nesting site for loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta Caretta). The soft, golden sands and crystal-clear waters make it a perfect spot to unwind and connect with nature. You can take a leisurely stroll along the pristine shoreline or dip your toes into the refreshing sea.

Therapeutic Mud Baths and Ancient Kaunos

Leaving the beach behind, our next stop is a unique and rejuvenating experience - the mud baths and thermal springs of Dalyan. The mineral-rich mud is believed to have therapeutic properties, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and revitalised. After covering yourself in the mud, allow it to dry before washing it off in the nearby thermal springs, creating a blissful and calming sensation.

Revitalised and ready for more exploration, we continue our journey to the ancient city of Kaunos. Stepping back in time, you'll be captivated by the well-preserved ruins that unveil the grandeur of this once-thriving city. The Acropolis, Roman baths, and the magnificent theatre offer a glimpse into the lives of the people who inhabited this ancient settlement.

The Enigmatic Lycian Rock Tombs

No tour of Dalyan is complete without marvelling at the awe-inspiring Lycian Rock Tombs. Carved high into the cliffs overlooking the town, these ancient burial sites are a testament to the craftsmanship and architectural prowess of the Lycian civilisation. As you stand in awe of these monumental tombs, your guide will regale you with the fascinating stories and legends surrounding these ancient structures.

A Day to Cherish Forever

As the day draws to a close, we head back to Dalyan for a relaxing boat cruise back to our starting point. The scenic beauty and historical marvels you've experienced throughout the day will leave an indelible mark on your memory. Our driver will then safely transport you back to your hotel, where you can reminisce about the incredible journey you've undertaken.
