Marmaris Dalyan tour is a guided day trip to visit Turtle beach, mud bath and the famous King's tombs.
In an area nestling with thermal springs and mud baths, Sultaniye has to be the most authentic and beautiful of all. Located across the lake from Koycegiz town, it appears timeless and unspoiled by tourism. The ancient columns surrounding the thermal pool will make you feel you are in ancient Rome, and locals as well as tourists use this spa all year round!
This coupled with the boat tour through the waterways that leave Lake Koycegiz and travel down to Iztuzu or Turtle Beach, is a gentler way to explore the history of this area. Once it was ancient Caunos, back when this region of Turkey was known as ancient Greece, the city thrived here. The only real evidence of it today are the rock tombs that you see overlooking the town and river of Dalyan. That said these are over 2000 years old and appear to have been made for giants.
Iztuzu Beach is given to the preservation of the Caretta Caretta Turtles, yes, so good they named them twice. The turtles use Iztuzu beach as a breeding ground. You may find parts of the beach sectioned off as there are eggs there waiting to hatch and make their desperate scamper to the waters edge. Under no cicumstances should you interfere with the sectioned areas.

This tour is for all ages and all types, from the mud to the beaches, with a chance of spotting turtles swimming in the waterways or just simply paddling in the waters of the beach, this is a lovely day with variety for everyone.
The spa waters at Sultaniye have been helping people with arthritic problems and similar for centuries. The sulphur smell seems to disappear after a few minutes by the way.Try for yourself and see how good it can leave you feeling.
It is unlikely that you will see the turtles on the beach itself, they lay their eggs at night and the babies hatch in the nighttime.
All is not lost though, if you keep your eyes open as you travel the waterways down to the beach, you are likely to see the odd turtle’s head bobbing up in the waters, especially if you have a little bread to throw for them!
