Dalyan by Boat – from Marmaris – Full Details

Having been collected from your Marmaris or Icmeler hotel, you’ll board the boat at the port for a leisurely, scenic sail along the coastline to Aquarium Bay.

Take time to enjoy a refreshing dip in the Aegean Sea at this lovely spot before continuing along the coastline to Turtle Beach.

You’ll have time to relax and swim in this natural conservation area which is famous for the Loggerhead Turtles who swim ashore each June to lay their eggs.

Indulge in a delicious lunch (included) before boarding a smaller riverboat for a cruise up the Dalyan Delta to its famous mud baths and thermal pools.

Have fun smothering yourself with the lovely sticky, oozy mud, said to aid skin complaints and rheumatism, before washing it all off again in the warm thermal waters.

Feeling refreshed, it’s back on the boat to the ancient city of Caunos where you’ll see the ruins and amphitheatre and learn about the age old King Tombs which date from the 4th to 2nd century BC.

Finally, relax and enjoy the cruise back to Marmaris for transfer back to your hotel.
