Full description
Cruise the scenic Dalyan River, soak in mud baths, see ancient tombs, and swim at Turtle Beach. A relaxing and unforgettable day tour from Fethiye for nature, history, and wildlife lovers.
Leave the bustle of Fethiye behind and uncover one of Turkey’s most unique natural and historical treasures with the Dalyan River & Turtle Beach Tour. This full-day experience is the perfect blend of scenic cruising, wellness, history, and beach fun — all in one.
Your journey begins with a comfortable transfer to Dalyan, where small riverboats await. Cruise through the lush Dalyan Delta, a protected area rich in wildlife and bird species. Keep your camera ready as you glide past lush reed beds and turquoise waters.
Your first stop is the famous mud baths and thermal springs. Rich in minerals and sulphur, these healing pools are great for your skin and joints. Smear on the mud, soak in the warm springs, and rinse off feeling refreshed and re-energized.
Next, you’ll cruise past the ancient Lycian rock tombs, carved high into the cliffs overlooking the river. These mysterious tombs date back thousands of years, and your guide will share the fascinating history of this ancient burial site.
Afterward, it’s time to relax at Iztuzu Beach, famously known as Turtle Beach. This long stretch of golden sand is not only perfect for swimming, but also a protected nesting area for the endangered caretta caretta sea turtles. Enjoy about an hour of free time to swim, sunbathe, or simply take in the pristine surroundings.
As the day winds down, your boat will return to the pier, and a comfortable vehicle will transfer you back to your hotel in Fethiye — full of memories, sunshine, and maybe even a little leftover mud!
Explore ancient wonders, heal in natural springs, and swim with turtles — all in one unforgettable day.
