Description

Travel by bus from Bodrum to Dalyan, a small town largely unaffected by modern development. Experience a boat trip on the Dalyan River to Iztuzu Beach, a protected nesting site for Caretta caretta sea turtles. Between May and September, female turtles lay eggs here and raise their young.

Enjoy a short 15-minute boat ride to the nearby sulfur baths. The mud contains sulfur and other minerals known for their skin benefits. A small spa offers opportunities to relax and be pampered in this natural setting.

Visit the ancient city of Caunos near Dalyan, founded in the 9th century BC. Once a Mediterranean port, it is now inland due to river silt. Explore its rock-cut tombs, where kings and noble citizens were buried with offerings, though original valuables have been removed over time.
