What Is Dalaman Best Known For?
Dalaman is best known for its beaches and turquoise coastline. Ölüdeniz, one of the world's most photographed places in Turkey, is a highlight of the area.
Dalaman Beaches
Butterfly Valley
Located in Ölüdeniz, Butterfly Valley is off the beaten track and is a perfect creation of nature surrounded by mountains and beautiful turquoise colour sea. One of the best kept secrets in the area the valley is home to almost 100 species of butterflies and due to the dangerous foot trails down to the valley, warning signs have now been added and the best way to get to the beach is by boat directly from Ölüdeniz. The beach is shingle sand but attracts visitors thanks to the breath-taking views and warm waters.
İztuzu Beach
İztuzu Beach in Dalyan is the magnificent golden sandy beach that reaches 4.5km with the Aegean Sea on one side and the Dalyan Delta on the other. At one end of the beach where the sea meets the delta is popular with tourists for its sandy beach and warm waters and can be accessed by local water taxi only whether privately or on a tour. The opposite side of the beach is accessed around the beautiful mountain road and is quieter than the more popular tourist side. Here you will find the Dalyan turtle hospital where they rescue and rehabilitate injured turtles and for a small donation you can visit and see the amazing Caretta Caretta (loggerheaded) turtles up close and personal.
Ölüdeniz
One of the most beautiful beaches in Turkey with breathtaking views. Literally translated as Dead Sea, Ölüdeniz is home to the Blue Lagoon known for its calm waters, an amazing colour of turquoise and aquamarine. The lagoon is a national reserve and has both a public area, which has an entrance fee as well as some private beach clubs that are free to enter but will expect you to purchase food and beverages. The main Ölüdeniz beach is also famous as the landing strip for the paragliders that fly from the Babadağ mountains.
Dalaman Culture
Knidos
Knidos, an open-air museum, was an important Greek city of ancient Caria and one of the most important sites on the Datca Peninsula. Dating back to the 13th century BC and home to the Temple of Aphrodite which holds exquisite statues, it’s a must see when visiting the area. Due to its location at the tip of the peninsula the sea views are outstanding and one of the best places to watch a sunrise or sunset.
Lycian Rock Tombs
Dalyan is home to some of the most impressive Lycian Rock Tombs dating back to 400BC. The Rock tombs are carved into the cliff face and are best viewed from the Dalyan Delta. The largest tombs are unfinished however, this does not take away from its impressive stature and is architectural wonder. There are other areas of Turkey with Lycian Rock Tombs however, Dalyan is certainly classed as some of the most impressive and should not be missed.
Marmaris Castle
Marmaris Castle is the only museum in Marmaris and a historical landmark in the resort. It is said that the castle was originally built in 1044BC and has been repaired several times throughout history including by Alexander the Great. The castle was used once as a military base in World War 1 and suffered extensive damage. The castle was restored once again in the 80s and is now a popular tourist attraction. The gardens are beautiful and well maintained and from the top of the extensive walls you will also find the most attractive views of the Marmaris Marina and the full resort.
