Itinerary
Marmaris Dalyan Koycegiz Lake Tour starts with a free pick-up from your hotel at approximately 08.00 in the morning.
After about an hour’s bus ride, we arrive at the mud baths in Dalyan.
Dalyan is famous for its sulphurous hot springs and rejuvenating baths, naturally made on the confluences to Dalyan river. One of those naturally made miracles is the famous spa. Here you will get a chance to cover yourself with the mineral mud baths and relax. Basically, you will have some amazing fun time playing in the mud, while also benefitting your health.
Once our local cuisine chefs prepare a delectable meal, we will eat in our restaurant near the river canal. You will be able to enjoy the magnificent view, while our guides tell you several legends about our surroundings. Enjoy your food while listening to some amazing stories and myths about the ancient Rock Tombs at the city site of Caunos.
After visiting the famous mud baths, we will board a lovely river boat and sail across the great river canal of Dalyan. The crossing of this captivating lake is an outstanding experience all by itself. Dalyan rşver gathers its power from several rivers and mountain streams, and then it narrows at one point and flows to the Turtle Beach.
Once the lunch is over, you will get to swim near the Turtle beach, and if you’re lucky enough you will be able to see the Loggerhead turtles moving around the beach.
After Marmaris Dalyan & Turtle Beach Tour ends and you leave the boat, our bus will drive you back to your hotel in Marmaris at approximately 6pm.

Traveler reviews
5/5- must do in Marmaris
Absolutely brilliant tour by Dmitri and Oscar. Could not ask for better guides. Mudbaths were great fun followed by a delicious lunch. The highlight of the day was definitely seeing the turtles up close at turtle beach. Would highly recommend this trip, again thanks so much to Dmitri and Oscar.
Good overall trip but with potential hidden cost.
Me and my partner both enjoyed the trip, the guide was great and kept us entertained. The mud baths were ok, although they felt more like a man made novelty rather than a natural spa as described, but were still fun and the food was also good, then unfortunately as we started the boat journey we had very heavy rain and showers for approximately 3 hours, we made our way along the river past the tombs, which are fascinating and then to turtle beach, because of the rain we stayed on the boat, but we still managed to see a couple of turtles eating the blue crab leftovers (plan B) which was great. Overall we’re very glad we took the trip. The only negative and a word of warning is, make sure your hotel is in the drop down menu when you book it, when booking we typed in our hotel The Marmaris Bay Resort and our confirmation clearly stated this and also stated the trip included free hotel pick up and drop off. The day before the trip we were contacted by the operator saying that they cannot collect or drop off from our hotel so we would have to pay an extra £15 to be collected and then make our own way back from Marmaris, another £15 taxi ride minimum. This information came too late (less than 24 hours) to give us the option to cancel through Tripadvisor even if we wanted to. Luckily for us on the way back the guide managed to organise a ride from Marmaris to our hotel, but this was not guaranteed. This didn’t spoil the overall experience but it did disappoint us, and I felt they could have let us know in plenty of time to give us more options.
Fun relaxed experience
Fun experience .. guide very helpful and knowlegable .. didnt feel rushed or pressured worth every penny.
Turtle beach fun with oscar
We had a great time visiting turtle beach and the mud bath spa. After the spa we had nice lunch and then got a boat trip to turtle beach the tour guide was very informative. We got to see two turtles and feed them at the beach with the blue crabs we purchased on the way.
Great day out
Wonderful day out seeing the sights, turtles and gorgeous beach. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend
