Tour Plan

  • Transfer from Hotel

    Get ready for an amazing adventure as we embark on our journey from Marmaris to Dalyan! We'll start with a transfer from your hotel. A bus will arrive at your hotel at the specified time, and an English-speaking guide will be there to whisk you away to the charming village of Dalyan, located just 80 kilometres from Marmaris. On the way, our guide will fill you in on all the exciting details of the tour and introduce you to the incredible sights you'll be able to see from the bus window.

  • Dalyan Thermal Springs & Mud Bath's

    The mud from the springs in Dalyan is packed with all kinds of minerals that are really good for your skin and have some pretty amazing therapeutic properties. Many tourists visit the springs in the hope of improving their skin condition, getting rid of various diseases and simply relaxing. And we're sure you'll agree that it's well worth it! In addition to the mud springs, the thermal baths of Dalyan are also very popular. The water in these baths contains sulphates, chlorides and bicarbonates, which help relax muscles and generally strengthen the body. We've planned a one-hour stop at this location, during which you can experience the healing properties of the thermal waters and mud baths.

  • Lunch on the Riverbank

    We've got a lovely lunch planned for you at one of the restaurants on the banks of the Dalyan River at noon. You'll get to taste some delicious national cold appetisers and kebabs, and there's a separate menu for vegetarians. Lunch is included in the tour price, and you can order drinks from the officers at an additional cost if you'd like.

  • Dalyan River Cruise and Lycian Rock Tombs

    After lunch, we'll be setting off again along the river in small boats. You'll get to see the beautiful nature of Dalyan, lots of different birds and colours! We'll be stopping in front of the Lycian Rock Tombs, where our guides will tell you all about how they were built and the history of the ancient city of Kaunos.

  • Turtle Beach

    Once we've finished our lovely journey along the Dalyan River, we'll head to one of the most gorgeous beaches in Turkey – Turtle Beach! It's named after the adorable Caretta-Caretta turtles that come here to lay their eggs in the summer. The warm sea, gentle waves and snow-white sand are waiting for you! You'll have 1.5 hours to enjoy this beautiful place. If you're lucky, you might even see the legendary turtles that live in the lake where the boats are moored!

  • Return to Marmaris

    After a lovely swim at Turtle Beach, you'll hop back on a boat to Dalyan village. Even though you've already had the pleasure of visiting these places, they look especially beautiful in the evening, don't they? We're so happy to let you enjoy this river cruise and the beautiful nature views once again! Once you arrive at the pier, you'll hop on a bus that'll take you back to your hotel in Marmaris or Icmeler in about an hour and a half.

Frequently ask Question

Will we see turtles in Dalyan?

It all depends on your luck! Turtles live here all year round, and in 90% of cases, tourists can observe them. But remember, Turtle Beach is not a zoo, but a nature reserve.

Thermal baths aren't recommended for folks with cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, or pregnant women.

Locals catch blue crabs in the river and make a special delicacy out of them. You can taste them by ordering them in advance from your guide – they're absolutely delicious!
