Turtle Beach + Mud Bath
Dalyan
- meaning "fish trap" in Turkish - is the breeding ground for the
world famous logger head turtles.
Enjoy a boat trip along the impressive labyrinths of the delta, relax
in a mud bath and indulge in delicious sea food in a river-side
restaurant next to the spectacular view of 2000 yrs old Lycian rock
cut tombs.
Bodrum,
Turkey’s oldest
tourist resort has many attractions and caters to many different types
of visitor. It is popular with the yachting crowd who moor up in the
large harbour and frequent the waterfront bars and restaurants. It is
a great place to be young and fashionable, rivalling the Mediterranean
hotspots of Ibiza in Spain and Mykonos in Greece. Bodrum also has the
best range of shopping and dining in the Aegean with something good to
suit every pocket.
The
Castle of St Peter
is one of the finest and
most complete castles in Turkey, built by the crusading Knights of St
John in 1408. The building alone, with its dungeon and towers, make
it worth a visit but the castle is also home to the Museum of
Underwater Archaeology displaying unique collections of ancient
artefacts.

Pamukkale
(Pamuk-kalay)
means ‘cotton castle’ in Turkish and it is a very appropriate name.
This huge natural travertine (a type of crystalline rock) fountain is
one of Turkey’s most famous attractions and one of its most beautiful
and spectacular landscapes. Sparkling white terraces of shallow
limestone pools cling precariously to the hillside. From a distance
they look like piles of raw cotton. Close up, the limestone is
brilliant white and its edges glitter like diamonds.
