About This Tour
The Dalyan Turtle Beach Tour is the most popular day trip from Marmaris — and for good reason. This unforgettable full-day adventure combines ancient history, natural wonders, and pure relaxation in one incredible journey.
Cruise along the scenic Dalyan River through lush reed beds and wetlands, passing the magnificent Lycian Rock Tombs carved into golden cliffs over 2,400 years ago. Experience the famous therapeutic mud baths — cover yourself in mineral-rich sulfur mud, then rinse off in warm thermal pools. Your skin will feel amazing!
The highlight for many is Iztuzu Beach — a pristine 4.5km stretch of golden sand and turquoise water, protected as a vital nesting ground for the endangered Caretta caretta loggerhead sea turtles. Swim, sunbathe, or visit the turtle conservation centre to learn about these incredible creatures.
With hotel pick-up, professional guides, and all entrance fees included, this tour offers exceptional value and is suitable for all ages — making it the perfect family day out from Marmaris.

The highlight of our Marmaris holiday! The mud baths were hilarious fun — we laughed so much. The rock tombs are genuinely breathtaking, and Iztuzu Beach is the most beautiful beach I've ever seen. Our guide was fantastic with the kids too. Worth every penny!

Wunderbarer Tagesausflug! Die Schlammbader waren ein unvergessliches Erlebnis, die Felsengraber beeindruckend, und der Strand einfach paradiesisch. Sehr gut organisiert, pünktliche Abholung, leckeres Mittagessen. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Amazing day trip! The Dalyan River cruise through the reeds was so peaceful, the mud baths were surprisingly fun, and the turtle beach was stunning. We even saw a turtle swimming near the shore. Perfect family experience.

Esperienza fantastica! Le tombe lyciane sono impressionanti, il fango curativo divertente, e la spiaggia delle tartarughe meravigliosa. Unico neo: il viaggio in pullman è un po lungo. Ma ne vale assolutamente la pena!
