Things to Do in Dalaman

The heavenly beaches and coves are the main attraction of the Dalaman Coast, which is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt to be found along the Mediterranean. One of the best ways to explore this coastline is to take a cruise in a gulet, a traditional Turkish sailing boat. The bustling resorts are well-equipped and inviting, with fantastic amenities and a wide array of water sports including snorkelling and diving.

Other unmissable attractions including the breath taking Blue Lagoon in Olu Deniz and the wonderful thermal springs and mud-baths, which have drawn visitors for two millennia, at Dalyan. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kaunos, the fortified city of Tlos, and the ruins of Hellenic cities such as Physkos and Amos (both set in the Marmaris National Park) all attest to the importance of this region in ancient times. Visit Pamukkale, which means ‘Cotton City’, to admire the ruins of the ancient Greco-Roman city and wallow in the hot springs.

For your typical tourist friendly beach holiday, the must visit resorts include Marmaris, Iclemer, Fethiye and Sarigerme.

Relax on Beautiful Beaches

There are scores of gorgeous beaches all along the Dalaman Coast, including those in all the main resorts of Marmaris, Olu Deniz, Icmeler, Fethiye, Hisaronu, Calis Beach, and Sarigerme. Many of them have been awarded Blue Flag status – Icmeler, for example, has no less than three Blue Flag beaches. But the most attractive of them all – perhaps the most beautiful in all Turkey – are the stunning beaches of the Blue Lagoon in Olu Deniz. All of the resort beaches boast plenty of amenities and great facilities for water sports. Other beaches that are worth a visit include Iztuzu Beach (also known as Turtle Beach), which is 13 kilometres from Dalyan. These vast, wide strands are beautiful and rarely crowded, and, best of all, are home to endangered loggerhead turtles. Sarigerme beach, located 5 kilometres southwest of Dalaman, is particularly charming and well-kept, and is comparatively uncrowded.

Iztuzu Beach – A long stretch of golden sand known for its sea turtle conservation area.

Experience Dalaman’s Nightlife

There are plenty of all-inclusive hotels along the Dalaman Coast, which offer all kinds of fantastic entertainment, from live music and traditional dance to bars and nightclubs. If you’re looking for lively nights with plenty of bars and clubs, then head to Icmeler, Fethiye and neighbouring Hisaronu or Marmaris. Bar Street in Marmaris lives up to its name, and is chock-a-block with popular nightspots. If you prefer something quieter and more laid-back, then Dalyan is for you. It has plenty of places to enjoy a drink but the nightlife is considerably less intense than in other resorts. Calis Beach is also a good option if you’re looking for relaxation and low-key entertainment.
