Sightseeing in and around Marmaris
The Marmaris Dalyan Köyceğiz Lake Tour has everything you need for the perfect day out. First the scenic bus journey to the lovely village of Köyceğiz and from there a river boat takes you across the glorious Köyceğiz lake, which is fed by several streams and rivers, to where it meets the Dalyan river leading to Sultaniye spa. The natural hot spring water is rich in sulphur and the mud baths are good for the skin. Enjoy lunch on the boat ride down the Dalyan canal to Iztuzu Beach where turtles lay their eggs. On the way there you will see some striking rock carvings, known to be the Lycian Tombs of the Kings of Kaunos.
Restored Castle of Marmaris, once used as a military base by Suleyman the Magnificent, has its own museum and is interesting to visit. Kedrai Ancient City is located on Sedir island, north of Marmaris. It dates back to the 6th century and is known for its Apollon temple and large Roman Theatre. The Phosphorus Cave is a natural wonder that can be reached by boat.
Our Marmaris Village Tour offers the chance to explore the old Marmaris, the fishing village that has existed for many generations. You will have the opportunity to wander past the charming little farms and village houses set in pine forest. Turkish people who live in the area are very friendly and you will be welcomed into the home of one of the locals to find out about how they live. A visit to a mosque and a school where youngsters learn how to weave carpets completes the cultural experience.
