We pick you up from your Marmaris hotel and drive to Dalyan (about 1 hour). On arrival, enjoy free time at the famous sulphur-rich mud baths and thermal pools—apply the mineral mud, let it dry, rinse off, and relax. Lunch is served at a riverside restaurant with canal views. After lunch, board a boat and cruise along the Dalyan River, passing reed-lined waterways and viewing the ancient Lycian Rock Tombs near Kaunos from the water. Continue to Iztuzu (Turtle Beach) for swimming and beach time; with a bit of luck, you may spot loggerhead turtles. Return to Marmaris by road and drop off at your hotel around 18:00; total return travel time is about 2 hours including one comfort stop.
