Did you know that among the many yacht charter destinations found along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, one of the most unique experiences that will leave you refreshed and entertained is a rejuvenating mud bath in the compounds of Dalyan.
The Dalyan Delta is a breathtaking natural location on Turkey’s southwest coast, near the town of Dalyan in the Mugla Province. A network of twisting canals, reed-lined channels, and a mix of freshwater and saltwater habitats characterize this delta region. Through the delta, the Dalyan River connects Lake Köyceğiz to the Mediterranean Sea. Small boats can navigate the river because it is relatively quiet.
Lycian rock tombs can be found on the cliffs along the Dalyan River and around 
Kaunos. These rock tombs are a stunning aspect of the environment and provide insight into the region’s ancient history.
Mud baths and thermal springs are popular in the Dalyan Delta. Visitors can have a mud bath, which is thought to have skin-healing powers, and then wash off in the warm waters.
Iztuzu Beach, commonly known as Turtle Beach, is a popular length of beach near the mouth of the Dalyan River in Turkey. It is famous for its natural beauty and serves as a breeding habitat for loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta). The beach is reachable by boat or a short drive from Dalyan.
The ancient city of Kaunos is located on the Dalyan River’s eastern bank. It was a significant Carian metropolis containing historical relics such as rock-cut tombs, a theater, and ancient construction remnants. Taking a boat trip from Dalyan, visitors are able to view the archeological site.
Your gulet cruise to Dalyan generally begins from either Marmaris, Fethiye or Gocek. Once your gulet charter reaches Semizce or Ekincik, you are transfered to a small river boat, taken through tall reeds, with a spectacular view of the Caunos Rock Tombs in the distance, to finally reach the famous mud baths of Dalyan.
A yacht charter Turkey holiday with a gratifying experience!
