Itinerary
Marmaris Dalyan Koycegiz Lake Tour starts with a free pick-up from your hotel at approximately 08.30 in the morning.
The transfer from Marmaris to Koycegiz Lake will be 45 minutes.
Upon our arrvial to the lake, we transfer all our guests to the river boats and all they we will explore the area by the help of these boats. The crossing of this captivating lake is an outstanding experience all by itself. Koycegiz lake gathers its power from several rivers and mountain streams, and then it narrows at one point and flows into the Dalyan river.
The thermal mud baths at Sultaniye add more fun to this trip. They may smell bad because of the sulfur dissolved in the water, but playing and bathing in these mud baths is good for your health. It’s said that mud-bathing here makes you look 10 years younger! After a joyful mud bath, you can use the showers to clean yourself and have some refreshments at the cafeteria nearby. Lunch will be served on our boat after the mud baths.
We will sail from Sultaniye Mud Baths to the Turtle beach
Dalyan is well-known for the ancient Lycian rock tombs at Kaunos dating back to 400 BC. We stop right in front of them for a picture break and our tour guides will be providing detailed information about these ancient tombs.
When we arrive at the Turtle Beach where we stop for about 90 minutes. Here you can swim, and explore the area. This is a protected beach as it is one of the last known breeding grounds for the endangered species of Loggerhead Turtles. Some areas on the beach are closed for human entry. The Turtle Beach is regarded as one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. If they are lucky enough, you might see the turtles swim or pass by.
At the end of the day we will sail all the way back and arrive to Koycegiz, where we will meet with our bus.
At the end of the tour, we reach back to Koycegiz and drive to Marmaris. We arrange to transfer our guests back to their hotels by our free hotel transfer service.

Too long before turtle beach only 1.30 hours would like more time there
2nd time I've been and still think this is an amazing day out. Cost £20 includes lunch but not drinks. It's a full day from 8.30am boat arrives back at out 8pm. Plenty of loungers and bean bags on board boat. We saw massive turtles. Swam in the sea which wasn't deep. The scenery is beautiful. Sea was a bit choppy in way back. Well worth doing this trip

Our group came from a cruise ship and needed to have the return time earlier than the tour was advertised. The phone operators worked with us to accomodate our needs, modify the touring time, and dietary requests for the lunch. Our tour guide Ahmet was knowledgeable, pleasant, and kept us on schedule. Bus driver also drove safely!
Thank you very much for your kind comment :). We are very happy that you were satisfied.
We went with a group. They gave us our own bus together with a wonderful tour guide, kosher food and returned on time for our cruise ship. I highly recommend this service.

This Day Trip was booked through Mares Travel although those taking part appeared to have booked through various other Agencies. Although I have classed it as 4 star overall there are various elements to the trip and it is better that I give a classification for each aspect. The coach picking us up from our Hotel (8.30) and taking us to the Lake (55 minutes) was very good quality (5*) as was the guide who staying with us all day (5*). The basic cost paid (£20) was also good value (5*). The boat used had seen better days (3*) and safety aspects need improving (1*) - there was no safety drill, I could only see 8 old life jackets and 3 safety rings (despite over 50 passengers being on board) and the captain kept leaving the wheel unattended to sell drinks or letting passengers take over steering the boat whilst he went off elsewhere. Lunch was included in the tour which turning out to be a fairly basic chicken meal (2*). You could upgrade to a better quality Sea Bream Lunch (3*) for TL180 (£9). This was served at 12.00pm and Dinner was served at 3.30pm upon leaving the Beach for the return journey. Dinner was not included and consisted of Sea Bream (TL180) or Crab (TL200). Drinks could be purchased throughout the trip. The boat departed at 9.45am across the lake, arriving at the Mud Baths and Thermal Springs around an hour later. These were a bit of fun. I am rather doubtful as to whether they did you any good and 75 minutes to cover both was not quite enough time. a quick dip was all we could manage in the springs (4*). It took around 1.75 hours to travel to Turtle Beach, during which time lunch was served and we passed the Rock Tombs (4*). We stayed at the beach for 90 minutes which was ideal for us but I would imagine could be too long if the weather was bad. We were told to buy our drinks before leaving the boat as beer was not served on the beach -which was true. What we were not told was that all other drinks plus food and ice creams were sold at very reasonable prices (English Tea 7TL -40p, Chips TL30). Free Clean Toilets and Showers were available as were Sun Beds - subject to charge (4*). At 3.15pm we returned to the boat. The captain encouraged a couple of Turtles to come to the surface for us with Crab on a line. After dinner was served (3*) we set off for the 2 hour boat trip back to the coach (which was rather long for the children on board) (3*). The coach then returned us to our hotels by 6.45pm (5*). As previously said, overall I classed it at 4* but others might think higher or lower dependant about the importance placed by them on the individual elements.
