Turkiye · DAY TRIPS IN DALYAN
Here is the shortlist: 7 day trips in Dalyan that repay the money, each with its price, its length and the one thing worth knowing before you commit.
Travel from Fethiye to Dalyan for an 11-hour guided outing with hotel pickup, river cruise, Caunos rock tombs, sulfur mud pools, lunch, and Turtle Beach. Guides such as Sev, Eric, Mete, and Mehmet have led recent trips. Bring swimwear, a towel, cash, and patience for a long day.

“Overall the trip was great. However, I think the time spent on certain locations and activities could have been optimized. So we needed more time during main activities, Like mud for example, and less time during beach time..and we couldn't watch properly the turtles..most of the time spent on the beac”
Spend about 10 hours exploring Dalyan from Fethiye by coach and boat. You will visit Sultaniye’s mud baths, eat an included riverside lunch, see Lycian rock tombs, and swim at Iztuzu Beach. Guides such as Sev add lively local context, though the group can reach 45 people and road transfers take time.
“What a great day out!! Fun packed and relaxing all at once!! Our guide Sev was fabulous. So warm and friendly and informative. I would definitely recommend this trip. Also I did look 10 years younger after going in the mud Bath so I will be back!!”
Spend 14 hours traveling from Bodrum to Dalyan for sulfur mud baths, a boat ride, Caunos rock tombs, and 90 minutes at Iztuzu Beach. Guides such as Fatma and Emile add useful local context. Lunch is included, but breakfast, drinks, and two road breaks cost extra. Turtle sightings depend on the season.
“Giornata intensa ma bellissima. Siamo anche riusciti a vedere le tartarughe.Consiglio”
Travel from Fethiye to Köyceğiz Lake, Sultaniye’s mud baths, Dalyan River, Kaunos rock tombs, and Iztuzu Beach.

Expect a scenic, busy outing with a long road journey and extra cash needed for drinks and the beach fee.
“First a great thank you to the tour guides Sevgi an Olga! They made a perfect job! The Boat trip was both interesting as well as relaxing! Food was a bit cold but fresh and more than enough! But the very long bus trip was despite the hood driver extremely annoying, took 2 1/2 hours in the morning and as long or more in the evening traffic...”
Leave Marmaris at 8:30 AM for a full-day trip to Koycegiz and Dalyan. You will cruise across the lake, visit thermal springs and mud baths, see Kaunos rock tombs, eat lunch, and swim beside Iztuzu Beach. Guides speak Turkish, English, or Russian. Expect a long day and possible extra charges for drinks, photos, and optional food.
“We strongly believe this was a scam. We spoke to people who have been on this trip and none of the experience they had (even on a rainy day) was applicable for us. First of all, the trip says food is included. If you are vegetarian or pescitarean, prepare to starve as only chicken is included. So, food is not included unless it is chicken. The fish costed €12.5 for a shallow fried portion of fish with some green leaves. The most expensive meal of that nature. There was a double decker bus with only 1 tour guide in the double decker and he was at the bottom. This meant…”
Pick a coast, a ruin, a valley or a bathhouse.
