Itinerary
According to the schedule, this tour begins during the morning time. An air conditioned and comfortable car will pick you up from you hotel and start driving you towards the first stop of the schedule.
At Gokova bay, a short breakfast stop will take place. The mesmerizing scenery will offer you the necessary relaxation and tranquillity so that you can enjoy your day tour.
After the breakfast, the bus will transfer you to the port from where the boat departs. With a spacious river boat, you will proceed with an incredible exploration of Dalyan. This river is an amazing natural wonder full of lush vegetation and colourful flora. An interesting highlight is that on the sides, you can observe ancient tombs that are carved into rocks. A professional tour guide will offer you interesting insights about these tombs and the importance of this ancient city.
Turtle beach is your next stop, which is one of the most photographed and known bays of the country. What makes this bay special is that, on the one side people can swim into the river water, while on the other side they can swim into the waters of the Aegean Sea. You will have some free time there to spend as you wish. Feel free to swim into both sides, river and sea, or relax on the sandy terrain. If you are lucky enough, you may also observe some loggerhead turtles.
You will your lunch in alocal restaurant in Dalyan
Dalyan is well-known for the ancient Lycian rock tombs at Kaunos dating back to 400 BC. We stop right in front of them for a picture break and our tour guides will be providing detailed information about these ancient tombs.
The guide will take you to visit the mud pools in Dalyan. These pools form a pole of attraction for many people every year as their high concentration in minerals can be therapeutic for the skin and muscle pains. During your visit there, you can swim into the mud, enjoy the therapeutic benefits and relax, and have some fun with your friends or family.
By the end of your last stop, a bus will drive you back to Bodrum. The road trip is approximately 3 hours long during which you can observe some nice views of the countryside. Return to your hotel in Bodrum is expected during the afternoon.

Traveler reviews
Too much travel time ruined the trip
I’m afraid I can’t recommend this trip due to the long hours on the coach and boat. 6 hours on the coach in total and 2 on the boat. For the time you have at the mud baths and turtle beach it just doesn’t justify it. The mud baths were also disappointing. Rather than a natural area it was man made with dirty cold water to walk through. Slimey mud to rub on you then quickly shower before moving on. Turtle beach was lovely but so was staying on our hotel beach. Lunch wasn’t too good. We left the hotel at 0630 and got back about 1930. Felt like we’d wasted a day to be honest.
Very nice beach and river...
Very nice beach and river but did not see any turtles. Lunch location was not the best - would prefer local restaurant even at additonal cost. The collection of people was not well organized therefore spent time waiting for missing passengers that were not collected from their hotels. During holiday time and experience is of essence, so I believe things could be organized better. Good guide though...
To flee
The bedding a disaster, the cramped bathroom you have the toilet bowl behind you the orca takes your shower!!to adjust the temperature of the you have to juggle with the mixer of the bathroom of the basin! Not to be recommended to people of strong builds fortunately I am slender!!
Great day out
Great day out, views were great. The mud baths were fun and the wife enjoyed seeing the turtles all in all fun day out.Also easy to book through Excursion Mania.
Lake DALYAN and Royal Tombs
No turtle at the time of our trip, but a crossing of the lake on a local boat, unforgettable. To arrive on a splendid beach with magnificent landscapes. Seen on the tombs of the beautiful lake. To do absolutely.
