Dalyan Mud Baths & Thermal Springs
About This Culture & Spa
Dalyan's sulphur mud baths have attracted visitors since ancient times — legend says Cleopatra herself travelled here for their beauty benefits. The natural thermal springs bubble up from deep underground, rich in minerals including sulphur, calcium, magnesium and potassium. Cover yourself in the warm, silky mud, let it dry in the Mediterranean sun, then wash it off in the 40°C mineral pools. Your skin will feel incredibly soft and smooth afterwards. The experience is as much fun as it is therapeutic — groups of friends and families laughing together covered in mud is a quintessential Dalyan memory. The surrounding gardens are beautiful, with peacocks roaming freely and ancient ruins scattered among the trees. Perfect for a relaxing morning or afternoon.

Absolutely hilarious and brilliant! We laughed so much covering each other in mud. My skin felt like a baby's afterwards — genuinely amazing. The thermal pools are gorgeous. Best £18 we spent in Dalyan thanks to the Holiday Pass discount.

Fun experience but very busy in August. Go early in the morning for a quieter visit. The mud is surprisingly pleasant and the gardens are beautiful. Did the massage too — excellent value. Lost one star for crowds, but still worth it.

Our teenagers thought this would be boring and ended up having the best time! They took hundreds of mud selfies. The peacocks in the garden were a bonus. Tea and lokum afterwards in the garden cafe was lovely. Family favourite of the trip.
