Itinerary

Start your day with a convenient hotel pickup from Fethiye and get ready for a memorable journey to Dalyan, a charming riverside town located approximately 1.5 hours away. Surrounded by lush landscapes and rich in history, Dalyan offers a perfect escape into nature and tradition. Originally a small fishing village, Dalyan gets its name from the traditional fishing nets ("dalyan") once commonly used in the area. Upon arrival, you’ll head to the scenic harbour, lined with wooden boats, where your river cruise begins. Hop aboard a traditional boat and cruise along the Dalyan Delta, taking in breathtaking views of the surroundings. One of the highlights of the journey is passing by the Lycian Rock Tombs, ancient tombs carved into the cliffs — an iconic and mystical sight. Next, it's time for some fun and relaxation! Arrive at the natural sulphur mud baths, where you’ll cover yourself from head to toe in mineral-rich mud. These therapeutic mud baths are believed to have detoxifying and rejuvenating effects on the skin, making it a fun and beneficial experience for everyone. After rinsing off, your tour continues with a visit to a local Turkish gold shop, where you’ll have the chance to browse traditional jewelry and souvenirs. The final stop is the stunning Iztuzu Beach, also known as Turtle Beach. This long, sandy stretch of coast is a protected nesting ground for loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta). Enjoy some free time to swim, sunbathe, or simply relax by the crystal-clear waters. At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Fethiye, filled with unforgettable memories of Dalyan’s natural beauty and unique charm. We hope your tour was a memorable one and we look forward to seeing you in the future on another TravelShop booking Tour. Have a safe trip back home and thanks for choosing TravelShop booking.
