A Pure eden Iztuzu Beach, a magnificent stretch of golden sand and a protected breeding ground for the threatened loggerhead (Caretta Caretta) sea turtles, is a highlight of every boat tour in Dalyan. This magnificent beach offers a tranquil and untouched environment with its turquoise crystal-clear seas.

Mud Baths & Thermal Springs

No trip to Dalyan would be complete without taking advantage of the city's famed mud baths and thermal springs. Locals and tourists alike throng to these natural wonders for rest and renewal because it is said that they have healing characteristics. Put on the mineral-rich mud, allow it to dry, then wash it off in the hot thermal waters. Not only is this unusual sensation delightful, but it also revitalizes and reenergizes your skin.

A Wild Life Heaven - Dalyan Delta 

For lovers of the environment, the protected Dalyan Delta is a veritable gold mine. You can see a variety of bird species, such as herons, egrets, and kingfishers, during your boat journey in this rich habitat. Watch for the elusive Caretta Caretta sea turtles as they gently swim through the currents of the river. This pristine setting serves as a haven for a variety of wildlife, providing nature lovers with an amazing experience. The river connects the lake to the sea therefore it creates a unique habitat for the wildlife. The unique blue crab is one of them.

Take a break from your boat tour and explore the ruins of an ancient theater, an agora, and the famous city walls in Caunos, an ancient city. Learn about the region's rich history and architectural wonders, which will take you back in time and give you a peek at earlier civilizations.

Tips:

• There are a variety of riverboats with varied costs that do not jump to the first one. First, learn all the alternatives and then make your choice. 
• There are many riverside restaurants but I do not have any favorite restaurant in Dalyan. I prefer to eat in Gocek because of its high quality.
• If you like yogurt you may try the Turkish traditional drink Ayran which is mixed with yogurt, water, and salt.  
• Iztuzu beach is shallow, however, it can be very wavy.
• There are two mud baths one of them is bigger than the other one. The floor is very slippery around the mud baths be careful. 
• Do not stay more than 10 minutes in the hot thermal springs which increases the heart rate.
