Dalyan, Mud Baths & Turtle Beach Day Trip
About This Day Trips
This unique day trip combines three extraordinary experiences: a serene riverboat cruise through Dalyan's reed-lined waterways past ancient Lycian rock tombs carved into the cliffs, a therapeutic sulfur mud bath that leaves your skin silky smooth, and the pristine Iztuzu Beach — a protected nesting ground for endangered loggerhead sea turtles. A day of nature, history, and relaxation.

The mud bath was hilarious and my skin felt amazing after. Turtle Beach is gorgeous — saw two turtles swimming!

Great variety in one day. The rock tombs are impressive from the boat. Mud bath is a must-try experience.
