Description

Embark on a unique journey through Dalyan and the surrounding areas. Drive from Bodrum to Dalyan, a small town unspoiled by buildings. Take a boat trip to the Iztuzu Beach, visit the sulfur baths, and explore the ancient city of Caunos. Take a 45-minute boat trip to the Iztuzu Beach, which is famed as one of the last nesting areas for the Caretta caretta Sea Turtles. Between May and September, the female turtles come to the beach to lay their eggs, care for them, and finally take their young to sea. Take a 15-minute boat trip to the sulfur baths, which is a unique and rewarding experience. The mud at the baths contains sulfur and other elements that are beneficial to your skin and make you feel refreshed and revitalized. There is a small spa here where you can relax and be pampered. Visit Caunos, the ancient city located near modern Dalyan. Caunos was founded in the 9th century BC. Once a Mediterranean city port, it now lies several kilometers from the sea, due to silt build-up from the Dalyan River. Caunos is famous for its rock-cut tombs. These tombs were graves for the kings and gentry of the city. As the pagans believed in resurrection, they placed food, money, jewelry, and other valuables at the entrance of the tombs. Unfortunately, due to grave robbing, these items do not remain today.
