Day Trips from Fethiye to Dalyan

After being picked up from your hotel in Fethiye, board an air-conditioned bus to Ortaca, where you'll transfer to your riverboat. The Dalyan river flows from Köyceğiz Lake to Turtle Beach, also known as Iztuzu Beach. As you navigate the river, you can see ancient Lycian tombs, which are around 2,000 years old, carved into the cliffs above the historic harbor city of Kaunos. Established around the 9th century BC, Kaunos gained significance as a prominent city in Caria around 400 BC, and the rock-cut tombs were reserved for the royal figures of Kaunos. Once you reach Turtle Beach, you will have the opportunity to sunbathe, swim, and unwind. The beach is off-limits to the public from May to September to safeguard the endangered loggerhead turtles. Conclude your day with a revitalizing outdoor mud bath at Köyceğiz Lake before heading back to your hotel in Fethiye.
