Dalaman

This green and relatively undeveloped region on Turkey’s Lycian Coast has plenty to offer. Whether you want to soak up the local culture, embark on an active hike, or just relax on one of its golden sandy beaches. The constant breeze and turquoise waters make this a great spot for watersports like paragliding and windsurfing. And you can take one of the many boat trips on offer to cruise around the beautiful coastline for the day.

Fethiye is a popular tourist destination where you’ll find an abundance of delightful restaurants specialising in fish and seafood. Visit the architectural wonders of the Lycian royal tombs carved into the rock face, or some of the area’s natural features like Saklıkent Gorge and Butterfly Valley. Dalaman is probably most famous for its mud baths and thermal springs. Spend the day there and you’ll come back from your city break positively glowing.
