Highlights

Cruise the beautiful Dalyan River and experience Dalyan’s mud baths and Kaunos’ ancient tombs on this unforgettable full-day trip from Bodrum. Head for riverside Dalyan by air-conditioned coach and spend much of the day sailing the peaceful Dalyan River. Watch for the rare loggerhead turtles that frequent the area; relax at the protected turtles’ breeding ground, sandy İztuzu Beach; and take a fun-filled dip in Dalyan’s gooey mud baths and sulphur pools. Views of Kaunos' famous Kings’ Tombs — carved into a cliff — and a hearty riverside lunch provide the finishing touches.

About Bodrum

Bodrum, on Turkey's Aegean coast, is a whitewashed harbour town beneath a Crusader castle, with ancient ruins and coves, facing the Greek island of Kos.

Bodrum curves around two bays beneath the Castle of St Peter, a fortress built by the Knights of St John in the fifteenth century and now home to a museum of underwater archaeology. The town stands on the site of ancient Halicarnassus, birthplace of the historian Herodotus, and the remains of the Mausoleum, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, lie in a quiet garden.

Top-ranked sights in Bodrum: Castle of St. Peter (Bodrum Castle), Orak Island, Black Island (Kara Ada).
