About this tour
Dalyan packs a lot into one day. A wooden river boat carries you through reed channels towards the Aegean, passing beneath the Lycian king tombs carved into the cliff above ancient Kaunos. At the Sultaniye springs you coat yourself in warm mud and rinse in the thermal pools, and after lunch by the water the boat reaches İztuzu, a long sandy beach between river and sea that is a protected nesting ground for loggerhead turtles. On the way back there is time to see the ruins of Kaunos up close. Pickup is from hotels in Fethiye, Ölüdeniz, Dalaman or Marmaris.

Frequently asked
Will we see turtles?
Often — loggerhead turtles feed in the river near Dalyan, and in summer they nest on İztuzu Beach — but sightings are never guaranteed.
Do I have to go into the mud?
No, it is optional. Many guests just enjoy the warm thermal pools.
Are site tickets included?
Your quote states whether entrance fees for the mud baths and Kaunos are included. We can include them so there is nothing to pay on the day.
