Dalyan Kaunos Tour from Fethiye — Nature, History & Relaxation in One Day

Discover one of Turkey’s most iconic landscapes on a full-day Dalyan Kaunos Tour from Fethiye — where rivers meet the sea, ancient civilizations rise from the reeds, and nature sets the pace. This experience is designed for travelers who want more than sightseeing — a balanced mix of discovery, comfort, and authentic moments.

Scenic Dalyan River Cruise — A Journey Through Protected Nature

Eco-Friendly Boat Ride

Glide gently along the Dalyan River on a traditional boat — passing towering reed beds, tranquil waterways, and untouched wetlands. This protected ecosystem is home to rich birdlife and unique flora, offering a calm and immersive start to the day.

Turtle Beach (Iztuzu Beach) — Where River Meets the Mediterranean
