Visit some of the top destinations on the Turkish Riviera with a day trip from Marmaris or İçmeler. Make your way to Turtle Beach near Dalyan and keep an eye out for the locals, admire Köyceğiz Lake, look out at the Lycian Tombs, and enjoy lunch on this full-day tour. Set off from Marmaris or İçmeler with pickup from your hotel in the morning. Once you arrive at Köyceğiz Lake, transfer from the bus to a boat and cross the lake. Take a dip in the hot water pools at Sultaniye or have a soak in the mud baths, a popular activity with locals and tourists alike. Enjoy a lunch of salad, pasta, and barbecue chicken or meatballs served on the boat. Sail through the Iztuzu Canal and, from the boat, admire the Lycian Tombs that are built into the cliffs and date back to the 4th century BC. Try your hand at crab fishing and see if you can catch some Blue Crabs. Arrive at the Dalyan Delta and look out for the Caretta Caretta or Loggerhead Turtles at the famous Turtle Beach. These large creatures can weigh between 300 to 400 pounds and the area is monitored by Turkey’s Environment and Forestry Ministry.

Enjoy a relaxing full-day tour of Dalyan on Turkey’s Lycian Coast, sailing by boat across the turquoise sea to Turtle Beach (officially known as Iztuzu Beach). Departing from Marmaris, admire the remarkable rock cut tombs of the Kings of Kaunos along the coast. Founded around the 9th-century BC on the border of the Kingdom of Lycia, Kaunos became an important Carian city around 400 BC and its culture reflected aspects of both kingdoms. The tombs were designated for the kings and other powerful people of the city, and filled with food, money, jewelry and other valuable items. Marvel at the Dalyan Canal as it weaves its way from Köyceğiz Lake to the beach, a peninsula jutting out from the mainland. Famous for the endangered loggerhead turtles (Caretta Caretta) that lay their eggs in the sand, as well as blue crab, the beach is now protected to help conserve the turtles, making it out of bounds to the public from May through September. Jump into a mud bath for an indulgent and therapeutic wallow before your return transfer to Marmaris.
