Where is dalaman in turkey

It covers a large area that stretches from Kalkan to Turunc. Dalaman includes the popular and must-visit Marmaris city, the charming smaller town of Fethiye and the iconic resort of OluDeniz.

Along this spectacular stretch, holiday makers are able to discover and unfold the beauty of the natural setting. Crustal clear waters, sandy beaches surrounded by imposing mountains full of pine trees and breath-taking hills create a scenic and picture-perfect backdrop. In Dalaman region, every resort has its own unique character and charm. Although there are spots to visit which are not so popular, there is definitely a city that you already know, and that is Marmaris.

This worldwide known tourist destination is washed by the infamous waters of the Mediterranean Sea and it is actually one of the largest resorts in the Aegean coast of the country. It is definitely not a coincidence that Marmaris has this status. The hype around Marmaris is real but not only because of its ability to combine sea and mountains. The city is also known for its cosmopolitan atmosphere as it has long been a summer resort for both, Turkish and foreigners.

The upgraded exclusive services and the infamous Turkish hospitality will make you feel like you are in home but with urban and sophisticated twists. Nightlife is also a major hint about Marmaris.

The city has entertainment options for all and of all types. From laid back beach bars to high-end restaurants, and from shows to night clubs, Marmaris can offer you equally fun and exciting nights.

The broader region of Dalaman and its multiple summer resorts can be the perfect option for your holidays. I flew to Turkey with Jet2, it was my first time using them and I was thoroughly impressed with the staff and their efforts to make sure your holiday gets off to a positive start.

The flight was smooth and comfortable, and I would not hesitate to fly with them again. My trip to Turkey was supported and sponsored by Jet 2 Holidays, however as always, all the photos, views and reviews are my own. Sharing this article with your family and friends on Facebook , Pinterest or Twitter really helps keep Intrepid Escape going, thank you!

I would love to visit these places once I get rich! Anyways, thanks for the lovely blog. You surely enjoyed yourself in the Dalaman area. I would have liked to have more pictures of the honey house to see how it is organized.

I would surely re-read this post again. It was an interesting take on Turkey, especially the deserted town. The paragliding activity and the lagoon scenery are what really caught my eye.

I can imagine myself relaxing by the lagoon and enjoying the cool blue hue of the water with my friends. Also there are a lot of things you can do in Turkey as you have suggested. Can you also suggest activities from the road less traveled? I want it to be something like an immersion of some sorts. Thanks for doing a travel recommendation about Turkey.

Dalaman is a surprisingly diverse holiday destination, with a range of sandy beaches, lively strips of bars, historical spots and Instagrammable seaside restaurants. The comprehensive guide features some of the best things to do in Dalaman and the surrounding area. It includes activities, where to stay and where to eat, so can make the most of your time in this beautiful region of Turkey.

Imagine a swimming spot that is so Instagrammable that you almost forget to take a swim in it because you are so busy snapping away? The Blue Lagoon at Olu Deniz is such a place my friends! There are also nearby bars and restaurants to relax in with a cocktail or three and soak up the stunning views.

At the western end of the Blue Lagoon is a national park you have to pay a small entrance fee for entry. Alternatively, the opposite side of the lagoon there are some private beaches with restaurants and bars that you can access for the day for an entrance fee to use the facilities. I would highly recommend spending the day, swimming sunbathing or paddling in this little slice of paradise, it is fabulously relaxing.

Adrenaline junkies will relish the opportunity to leap metres off Babadeg Mount and land on the beach. There are lots of different paragliding companies to choose from in the area and you can book Paragliding in Babadeg online. Most reputable paragliding companies should offer transfers, full insurance, professional instructors. After having a total anxiety vomit in a beach bar, we were soon taken up the twisty roads of the mountain. You can choose turns, spins, spiral dives and acrobatics, or if you have a nervous disposition like me, a nice gentle glide down.

My pilot looked disappointed until I explained I once threw up over an over-zealous skydive dive instructor in Australia. Once you have taken flight by running towards the edge of a mountain you are soon floating through the air with the most spectacular views. You can gaze down at the beautiful beach where you will be landing. Set sail up the pretty Dalyan river for an afternoon of swimming, turtle spotting and relic gazing.

On a typical Dalyan boat trip, you will sail through pretty reeds and also pass the Lycian rock tombs. These cliff carved tombs date back to bc and are the final resting place of the kings of Kaunos. During your boat trip, you should be on the lookout for sea turtles. It can be tricky to sip wine on a boat and be on the alert for turtles. Probably one of the more pressing first-world problems of all time? I was lucky enough to spot a turtle as I happened to have my camera in hand, I frantically started snapping and managed to get him peeking his head out of the water.

We briefly docked at Iztuzu Beach [turtle beach] and spent some time looking for turtle nests and having a paddle in the sea. Clearly, I have grown as a human. A visit to Fethiye fish market is an absolute must for seafood lovers.

You can choose your own fish at this vibrant fish market. It can then be cooked by one of surrounding small restaurants for a small fee. You can also order additional meze and drinks at a cost.

We spent a balmy night eating outdoors, with the smell of fresh fish in the air and the strumming of a local band that performed for tables, as the vino flowed. Dining out in Turkey is an experience and the fish market is no different.

Seemingly endless meze will arrive, rivers of wine will be poured, laughter will ensue and before you know it, midnight will arrive and you are somehow still eating prawns. You will find bars, restaurants, as well as stalls with spices, fruit, vegetables and meats as well as shoes, bags, scarfs and jewellery.

Holidaymakers flood its main strip to indulge in drinking and dancing till dawn. Strolling down the main bar strip you will find a party and if you are looking for pumping music, flashing lights, lurid coloured cocktails and smoke machines then club heaven awaits you, clubbing kittens.

If you are looking for live music then the beachside bar, Yunus Cafe Bar has chilled live performances and classic cocktails. Every night on the Marmaris main boulevard, a seemingly ordinary fountain comes to life with lights and music. There are also several restaurants that face the fountain where you can grab a seat and watch the dancing water. This immediately conjured up images of a humourless bureaucrat waist-deep in the mud, with a clipboard and a rubber stamp.

Our guide explained that the Peloid mud bath Dalyan consisted of clay minerals, humic acid, lignin, hemicellulose and other such scientific terms. This where you pop your feet in a tank and lots of tiny fish to nibble away hardened skin on your feet [ewwww]. There is something childlike and rather wonderful about having a bath in mud, you can squelch around, smear mud all over yourself and roll around in glee.

You then lie on a bench and bake yourself in the mud before showering it off. There are different mud areas to try, each infused with a different set of herbs or oil including sage and rose oil. If you are one for alternative beauty treatments, then this could well be exactly the sort of spa you are looking for.

You can book a combined Dalyan Mud Bath and Beach Tour in advance online, so you can get your tickets straight away. Our boat trip made several stops in some beautiful secluded bays. One of the beaches even had adorable goats peering out at us from the beach.
