Since you can’t really drive all the way through the park I have to get a rating at three. Is our understanding that there is a military base at the end of the peninsula which overlooks Greece so they do not allow your access to that part of the pregnancy.

Rated as one of the top 10 beaches we found in an online article we decided to head along in the car. The park is separated into around 4 or 5 beach areas each with its own car park and its own access to the beach. Several have cafes serving soft drinks (non alcoholic) and snacks only in what I can only describe as an archaic fashion. With dirty sunbeds at a cost there are however, free to use picnic benches which I would highly recommend but seemingly a feature well recognised by the locals. If you're lucky enough to be traveling in a car then I'd recommend finding your own private beach!

I went to Dilek National Park on a weekday in May 2023 driving a motorbike. You can only enter from the north side of the peninsula for a ticket. There are a few beaches that you can visit and are not too far from the entrance. Beaches are beautiful and equipped with facilities for pic-nic, bars and plenty of toilets. At the time of my visit, none of the cafes/restaurants were open. Unfortunately the area that you can visit is quite limited compared to the extent of the peninsula, I wish I could visit more. Also, if you need info about the peninsula and trekking possibilities there isn’t much available and I recommend visiting the tourist information point in Kusadasi (opposite the port).

best place for cycling, swimming or trekking

If you have a car or go by bus or taxi the beaches are a refreshing change from the resort complex! Relatively harmless boar roam around scavenging but only because idiots feed them and don't understand they'll keep coming!

Beautiful beaches and many areas to rest and eat on the waterfront.

Absolutely beautiful. The park was perfect for any family get together or picnic for two. The beauty in Turkey is spectacular. Friendly people everywhere.

One of the best experience I’ve ever had! The safety standards are exceptional — lifeguards everywhere made me feel totally secure. Slides are super fun, especially the long tunnel ones with rafts. The park is huge and has something for everyone, whether you’re chasing adrenaline or just relaxing. Even the restrooms were shockingly clean and well-designed. Fast service, delicious food — truly beyond expectations. 5 stars, no question!

Definitely worth a visit. Lots of slides and pools to use and felt like there was a lot of space. No long queues and this was peak season, the longest time we waited was 5mins. The food and drink prices are very reasonable and all the staff spoke English and were very friendly. Facilities such as toilets and changing rooms very clean and the atmosphere was very pleasant. The only small complaint was that it’s all up hill so there is some stairs to climb for the slides which was tiring but overall this did not ruin any of our fun and the views were worth the climb. Just to note the pools are salt watered and the dolphin park is not part of the price of adaland so if you want to visit the dolphin park you will need to pay extra.

Absolutely blown away by the whole experience! The food portions were way bigger than expected — generous and delicious. The entire place was spotless, I was honestly surprised by how clean everything was. But what really stood out was the staff: incredibly kind, energetic, and professional. Their way of speaking and helping made the whole visit feel premium. Easily one of the most well-managed parks I’ve ever been to.

We took the family here for half a day in July and had an amazing time. Take caution when riding the rides, they are definitely fun, but you need to be careful.

Fantastic day out !!! On holiday in didim with teenage children, booked trip through a local excursion shop. Water park is immaculately clean, plenty of sun lounges located all over park. Lots of different swimming pools, places to get drinks and food all reasonable priced. All the slides are great fun, we didn’t have to queue for any slides. All had a great day. Best water parked we have been too.

Great place to spend time. Lots of attractions. This park is big and has lots of green areas giving shade. You don't feel crowded and there is no problem finding seats. Beautiful view of the mountains and the sea. The only thing is that they are closing quite early (at 5pm) so definitely worth going in the morning.

Absolutely amazing. We came as a family and had a really good time. The areas for kids are endless and very entertaining for them. And for the adults there is never ending slides and activites. Looks like it has been re-furnished a little too so everywhere was looking very nice and clean. I couldn’t fault them at all. Definitely recommend!

I was pleasantly surprised by Ladies Beach - the water was so clear and clean. It got very busy throughout the afternoon but when we arrived at 10.30 there were plenty of sun beds available - all 300tl each and parasols are free. I was happy to see lots of people dispose of their rubbish although there are a lot of cigarette butts all over the sand.

The best beach in Kusadasi There are a lot of free umbrellas and beach beds, but as demand is quite high, you should come early to get them. A lot of shops and cafes are nearby, as well as Migros store. Water is clean, the sand is being cleaned daily, views are quite pleasant. Really nice place, however could be crowded in summer peak times. But is early September it was quite good and not crowded

The sea is shallow and crystal-clear. Unlike other touristic places, businesses with a sea view don't have exaggerated prices. There are also regular shops in the promenade so that u can easily get a drink without having to leave the seaside. We spent a pleasant afternoon swimming here. I recommend it.

A wonderful beach with soft white sand and crystal-clear water — truly one of the most beautiful spots in Kuşadası. However, it’s sad to see that some visitors leave trash and throw cigarette butts around. When you have such a stunning natural place, it’s everyone’s responsibility to keep it clean and take care of it. Despite that, the beach itself is amazing - perfect for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying the view.

One of the best beachs! I love Kusadisai! It's crowded so if you're looking for a quiet beach, this is not the one, but the water and beach are beautiful! You can get there early and snag a umbrella already set up on the beach, or rent one for £100 at one of the shops on the boardwalk.

Nice beach close to the city centre. Sunbeds available for a fee, but also free areas in the beach. Several restaurants and bars on the street above the beach.

The beach was ok. The umbrella rentals were reasonable at €15 for two chairs and an umbrella. The ocean water however was full of debris from trees or plants, not sure which. However, we walked a little further to the right and the water seemed a bit clearer, not too bad. The waves were very strong so we had to keep a close eye on the kids. The vendors on the beach were very reasonable, I bought cotton candy and a candy apple at €2 each. Overall, not too bad of an experience at lady beach. The cab charged us €20 each way from the cruise Port.

Incredible historical site that you must visit if you stop in Kuşadası. The scale of this outdoor museum has to be seen in person. Knowing that only about half has been excavated makes a future visit even more tempting.

Part of Ephesus Ancient City, this particular ruin is probably the most impressive due to it's size. As you walk down what used to be central street, it already looks amazing but as you get up close and you have the chance to walk inside, you realize the absolute awesomeness of what was built.

This is located at one end of the ruins of city of Ephesus. The front part of the building still stands today. The wall has holes where the manuscripts were stored. You can visit some parts of this building only. It is definitely the highlight of Ephesus.

One of the most memorable experiences I have ever had. Such a beautiful location and historical value is incredible. This was a trade mecca in its day. This is where the Apostle Paul preached and resided during his time.

I am always so impressed with this world reknown sight. We had Ephesus all to ourselves the day we visited. It was a very unique visit in the RAIN. . The Library of Celsus is an ancient Roman building in Ephesus, Anatolia, located near the modern town of Selçuk, in the İzmir Province of western Turkey. It is world famous. It was designed not only to store scrolls and books—holding an estimated 12,000 manuscripts at its peak—but also to serve as a monumental tomb for Celsus, whose sarcophagus lies in a crypt beneath its main floor.

Commissioned in the years 110s CE by a consul of the Roman Empire, Tiberius Julius Aquila Polemaeanus for his father Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus, it was completed during the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Celsus is buried in a crypt beneath the library. It was the third-largest library in the Greco-Roman world behind only those of Alexandria and Pergamum. Believed to have held around 12,000 scrolls. The facade was re-erected by archaeologists between 1970 and 1978.

Honestly one of the highlights of our visit. It was fairly busy and really hot but the views made it worth it. The best place to view the details is from underneath the arch next to it.

Beautiful location. A lot of the structures are intact and well preserved it was difficult to get there without a guide, taxi or tour group, so it can be pricey. The ancient library is a major highlight and they do live reacting of Roman guards. Lots of history. There is a small bathroom and market stand will snacks and food around the midway point of the walk. When we went (end of June) it was 103 degrees F° with no shade. We spent about an hour and a half walking through but needed to leave due to the heat. Would love to walk around more. Important: bring good hiking shoes that grip, the marble floors are polished and slippery. We had hiking boots and sandals and still slipped a few times, but our friends with simple sneakers had to walk very slowly and carefully to avoid falling down.

Visiting the land of Ephesus, the Ancient Greek Theaters and the Ancient Great Library of Celsus is a very special visit. The rain was pleasant and the temperatures cool ondaywevisited. Most visitorsshouldexpecthightemperaturesandverylittlecoolingbreezes. The Library of Celsus is an ancient Roman building in Ephesus, Photos of the library are world reknown.

Mark Anthony walked here long ago and households thrived and m markets prospered.

Truly inspiring to consider what took place here over 2,000 years ago. As an American, it is a powerful experience to come here and be reminded how new our history really is, in comparison with the rest of the world.

*Echoes of the Apostles and Empire* Standing in the Great Theatre of Ephesus is like standing in history itself. With a capacity of over 25,000 seats, this awe-inspiring structure was the largest theatre in ancient Asia Minor and still dominates the site with its grandeur. Built during the Hellenistic period and later expanded by the Romans, it hosted dramas, political events, and gladiator fights. For Christians, this theatre holds profound significance. According to Acts 19, the Apostle Paul’s preaching led many Ephesians to abandon idol worship, especially that of the goddess Artemis. This angered local silversmiths who made shrines for Artemis, causing a riot. The mob dragged Paul's companions into this very theatre, and for two hours the crowd shouted, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!" Knowing this brings the stones to life with spiritual history. Unfortunately, during our recent visit, the theatre was under restoration, so we weren’t able to go inside. Still, seeing it from the outside was deeply moving. One unexpected highlight was meeting the famous local cat “Garfield,” who’s become something of a mascot at the theatre. We took so many fun photos with him—it truly made the visit even more memorable. We recommend visiting early morning or late afternoon to avoid the strong sun and crowds. #EphesusTheatre #Acts19 #ApostlePaul #GarfieldTheCat #BiblicalSites #UNESCO #TurkeyTravel #AncientDrama #FaithJourney

Believed to be the largest in the ancient world: could host up to 25,000 seated spectators. Initially used for drama, in Roman times gladiatorial combats were also held on its stage. Elton John performed a special, solo concert at the Great Theater on July 17, 2001.

We stayed in Izmir and drove to it. It was roughly an hour to get to it. Very nice site and well preserved.

Nice sunny ☀️ weather, you pay 💰 per person 28.71 euros 💶 if you get the deal. Parking 🅿️ cost 💲 around 3€ There are a small market with lots of options. We did all the walking around in 3 hours but this will definitely depend on you. January is great as there are not many tourists and prices of hotels are cheaper.

Beautiful and sacred holy ground. Be prepared to do a lot of walking as most vehicles are not permitted close to the entrance. We enjoyed seeing the home of the Virgin Mary. The wall of intentions was moving and special. We enjoyed walking the grounds and looking at the landscape. Recommend dressing modestly or you will need to wear a covering. Photography is not permitted in the house.

In Meryemana, Turkiye, the Virgin Mary's House is located. Reverant, quiet, with a prayer wall we stood in a contemplative mode, remembering the struggles of Jesus and the prophecy that was to unfold. I thought of the pain Mary and her sisters endured, but still after all these years Mary provides love and forgiveness to all those in need. These prayers and requests were represent at the prayer wall at Mary's House. It was symbolic of the needs from people all over the world. One gentle man touched my heart so, as he went around retrieving prayer notes that had fallen off the wall. He tenderly returned each note from the ground to the wall. A qentle act of kindness. There are no photographs allowed in Mary's House but prayer candles may be purchased there. Worth the visit!

Mary lived in this house after death of Jesus Christ. The house has two small rooms. The environment is very peaceful here. You will need to walk 10 mins to reach the house. Because of queue you may get a few seconds only inside the house. Overall, a must visit place if you are in Izmir.

Is it actually Mary’s house or just a tourist trap? Jury is still out. Is it worth a visit for you to decide for yourself? Yup. They herd you through the house at a gallop so don’t expect to spend much time checking things out inside the house. Basically just a quick walk through of a tiny house. There’s a holy fountain and a wishing wall too. The whole site might take you 20 minutes to get through.

We are overjoyed after visiting this beautiful place. We were fortunate to arrive before closing time, so we had enough time to explore this magical place and appreciate its magnificence. Very peaceful and calm atmosphere.

Very special and sacred. Be prepared for a bit of walking as cars are not permitted close to the entrance. The wall of intentions was special, and the grounds are lovely. Dress modestly or take a covering. Photography is not permitted in the house.

There was about a 30 minute wait to reach the house. As you reach the house there is an open air alter with priests leading mass. You would need to check the schedule if necessary. Our guide shared that only about 12-14% of the house found in the foundation is from an archeological dig. You walk thru 3 rooms that include religious pictures and statue. After you leave the house you come to 3 fountains that have been blessed. There is then a fence where people tie their prayers. At the end of the walkway are restrooms and a museum shop.where you can purchase blessed icons. Right outside the gates and at the entry are shops selling souvenirs, candy and food. To me this seems out of place at a religious place.

Priene is a very good location to visit. Not as developed as some other places, but enough of the ruins remain that you can get a sense of what the town must have been like in ancient times. Much better than Miletos. Very close to the small town of Güllübahçe where there are options to stay or good restaurants.

Priene is located in a very scenic place. Not many visitors, very peaceful and cool due to the trees. Totally worth a visit. Spent about an hour there.

A very beautiful place with an amazing view. Only 20 tl and free to walk around. It is a pretty steep walk but definitely worth it.

Have visited Priene several times. Always an amazing experience. Make sure you wear a hat in summer, it's hot up there.

oh my Zeus, God of Greek People. The place is blessed by nature and Gods.

(Translated by Google) It was one of the most beautiful ancient cities I've ever visited. While the structures typically preserved in ancient cities are common state structures like theaters, bathhouses, temples, libraries, and so on, you can also see the street layout where the people lived. I think this was what impressed me most. It's a fairly large ancient city, and it took us about three hours to tour it (we explore it in some detail, but even a cursory tour would still take a long time). It contains many structures: a theater, bathhouse, church, temple of Athena, stoa, sanctuary of Demeter, gymnasium. When the city was first founded, it was by the sea, but over the years, it has been pushed inland by the silt carried by the Meander River. It's even more beautiful to wander around with this in mind. (Original) Şimdiye kadar gittiğim en güzel antik kentlerden biriydi. Genelde antik kentlerde korunan yapılar tiyatro, hamam, tapınak, kütüphane..vs gibi devlete ait ortak yapılar olurken bu antik kentte halkın yaşadığı sokak düzenini de görmek mümkün. Sanırım en çok etkilendiğim şey bu oldu. Oldukça büyük bir antik kent, gezmemiz yaklaşık 3 saat sürdü (biz biraz detaylı geziyoruz ama yine de üstünkörü gezmek bile uzun sürer.) İçinde birçok yapı var: tiyatro, hamam, kilise, Athena tapınağı, stoa, demeter kutsal alanı, gymnasion.. Kent ilk kuruldugunda deniz kenarındaymış, Menderes nehrinin getirdiği alüvyonlardan dolayı yıllar içinde iç tarafta kalmış. Bunu hayal ederek dolaşmak daha da güzel olabilir :)

(Translated by Google) Gelebeç / Söke / Aydın The Acropolis is the name given to the fortresses built on the hills adjacent to ancient Greek cities. It was one of the 12 cities of Ionia. The Acropolis, which hosted many civilizations, including the Greeks and Romans, is notable for its fluted columns and the sheer size of its summit. It tells us about the lives of a great kingdom, and it excites us as people. Walk carefully.

My child enjoyed it, but it's low standard. I been there 2 times. It's a lot of slides, but almost every slide for kids was not working as intended. Had to manually throw water on them because they were dried out. Anyway like I wrote earlier, my kid was happy, and it looked like the other kids also enjoyed it Btw: The toilets was not a nice place, and it smelled old pee.

Sad and borring!!! Place emergency need renovation. reasonable prices. In the end mouse in fitting room,like dose of adrenalin😊

Good value....nice day for everyone.Plenty to do...you have to put money on card for water and food (not allowed to take water or food in with you)and the food not brilliant....McDonalds type... 4lira for small bottle water! Could do with a clean up .... some pools grubby with bits in...so dont swallow any water....

The water park is big. Lots of slides and we had no queues but the kids do tend to hot the rings. The food was good for the price but took about 30 mins to arrive. They had a play area under cover for the kids do they could play while you waited. The park does need some TLC so don't let your kids just run off and watch where you step. You can not take your own food or drink in.

If you have any children between 9-15 they will enjoy. Even it is not so well maintained place. They will still enjoy it. Little shaggy but mabybe that is the charm of this place. Entree fee is not sow high like other places. I still had a great time, they have to upgrade the place. If you looking for more lux go to kusadasi, but that is twice the entree fee. Also you have some big hotels in with Didim which you also enter as a guest

DO NOT GO HERE. I went this year and also last year. I was disappointed last year but thought I would go again maybe some changes were made etc. Was I wrong . The place is in desperate need of a referb. Tiles broken on the floor. Drain covers broken. Water is dirty and very cloudy. Most equipment broken. The floors are even dirty and you end up with black feet and stepping on objects the size of Legos. They only care about money. Security only check your bags for food or water. Alot of equipment has lots it's original colour and looks nothing like the pics. Honestly avoid. Witness staff harrass foreign tourists and use foul sexist language to them and try flirt to Minors. Disgusting. Go to Adaland people. It's much much better, safer, cleaner and hundreds of hours of fun. Will not go here ever again. If in doubt ask locals or even taxi drivers.

It is a complete mess. Floors are flaking and full of rubble and rubbish. Tiles and grids are missing. There are holes where kids can hurt themselves. However after reading reviews on here that didnt surprise me. What wasnt acceptable is when we come out of the ring on the slide the lifeguard failed to notice and sent a further 2 rings with people in down. Resulting in my child banging his head as a result of them banging into him. They went down when he told them too. Value yours and your families safety then avoid at all cost!

The site is closed indeed, as they are actively building a new entrance pavilion (I have seen no restoration being done on the site itself). Still you can get a good view from behind the fence and you can also walk around the temple behind the fence - there is a paved path, getting views from several angles - it still gives an unforgettable grandeur impression. The security cameras on the perimeter make sure nobody scales the fence. The temple is so massive it’s surprising it has suffered such severe damage, but apparently a powerful earthquake has destroyed it in 7th century A.D.

I visited the Temple of Apollo in early September on a weekday, and it was a great, with hardly any other tourists. The quiet made it easy to take in the atmosphere. We skipped the headphone guide since there are plenty of well-written boards around the site. You’re free to walk right up the temple steps and wander around at your own pace, which I loved. The inner sanctum, where the oracle once spoke, still carries a strong presence. The acoustics there are striking; even a soft voice carries. If you’re after an authentic ancient site that hasn’t been overrun by crowds, this is a place I’d highly recommend. It feels both accessible and special.

Beautiful ruins. Little tip... Admission is only 6 euros per person so save yourself some money and dont buy a tour. It a 12 minute walk off the No.4 bus route. The same bus will take you to the Mavisehir Market. The bus is 25 lira each which is a bargain but it can get very very crammed.

It is a very very great historical place and it is in quite good situation and well preserved… Definitely recommend to visit it… We visited the Temple of Apollo and it was really really great due to the fact first of all that the facade lightings were very lovely and second it was marvellous to run away from day heat so by the evening visit you really can enjoy the the site in a more different way because the evening hours provides more cooler temperature and on the other hand it has also less crowded environment…

The Temple of Apollo in Didim is an absolute gem! From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by the awe-inspiring ruins. It wasn’t just a temple; it was home to one of the most famous oracles of the ancient Greek world, second only to Delphi. Pilgrims from across the Mediterranean traveled there to consult the oracle, making it a major spiritual and cultural hub. You should definitely visit this historical place.

Visited with my partner and two young kids and all loved it, Beautiful Greek ruins. Definitely worth the visit if staying in the didim/Altinkum area

Its a very pretty and popular place a lot to explore city centre the cost for a taxi to this place is 250tl. The ticket to go in is 300tl per person you can only pay in TL.

Lovely service here all staff members are kind and friendly happy to go above and beyond this was meant to me a lovely getaway for my and my partner are 1st holiday together away in the middle of no where was told there will be entertainment here as we arrived there was no entertainment the rooms aren’t what they look like we will both won’t be coming back here it’s are 1st time and last night we come along with the room not being cleaned enough walked into the bathroom as previous person has left stuff on the walls(snobs) all dried and all the mirrors and shower was stinking no entertainment or anything only music nothing in the description on us viewing the hotel before booking was here what a big let down on are first holiday together

This hotel is classed as all inclusive. If you go please bring lots of money to eat out because the food is disgusting full of flies and cold and the same nearly every day I would not give it to a dog. The only good this is the beach is right outside. Don’t expect to get wifi in your room. Only accessible by the pool or the lobby and it is terrible. The bathroom sink leaking water all over the floor as well.

I come here every year. Just had my 4th holiday here. Amazing service as usual from all the staff, Roger Metin oruno furkhan ahmed bedir on the bar and all the boys in the restaurant. Lovely food, good variety, rooms lovely and cleaned every day, entertainment almost every night which was brilliant as always. And yes I’ll be back again next May, look forward to seeing it. Highly recommend my favourite hotel and resort.

Awful experience. HOTEL AND MINDSET OF STAFF LOCKED IN ANOTHER CENTURY. Very basic old run down hotel. Only Turkish food. NO food labels. Pool tiny. NO AIR CONDITIONING IN 50 -55%DEGREE HEAT. FOOD LIMITED NO ENGLISH SPEAKING STAFF DISCRIMINATION NO WIFI NO KETTLE IN ROOM HAVE TO PAY A FOR TEA AND COFFEE more like a hostel than hotel. I was sexually assaulted by member of staff. He was told to stay away from me. Crazy. My bag and personal belongings stolen Staff orginally refused to check CTV. Very traumatic experience However there were some very kind members of staff Jasmine maid, Ikle reception 2 of ladies and guys who took me pice station and manager Sadik was helpful, letting me use his phone. Bar staff lovely. Only basic drinks, no snack bar, no ice cream or lollies Still trying to wrap my head around the whole experience.

Where do I start …The hotel is very basic ,we had no WiFi ,shower door and it was dirty and beds were like rocks.The food was disgusting barely edible and no staff members spoke English.There was no activities or entertainment.The only saving grace was the beach and weather even though people fight over sun-beds and if you didn’t want that needed to pay extra for them.Turkey is beautiful but don’t go near this hotel

We booked a room one month in advanced, for 3 people. When we arrived we were told that the reservation got mixed up and that we would stay at another hotel . They didn’t give our money back and refused to take any responsibility for their mistake . We got to the other hotel and it was much smaller and the rooms were tiny . The bathroom wasn’t even a proper bathroom. The only accommodation we got was that we could eat and use the pool at the other hotel but that was it .

Very old dated Needs modernising No food labeling No bottled water have to pay Have to pay for teabags Not disabled friendly Cold and unwelcoming staff apart from a few No air conditioning in 55% heat No wifi only in foyer and by tiny pool that only works intimidating. If have fussy eaters or dietary requirements your going to starve No safe in room

Yalikavak Marina was high on my to do list when I visited Bodrum. I was really exited to travel there by bus, driving up and down the hills with stunning views. As I arrived the sun was due to set within the next half hour so I knew I got there at the best time. Unfortunately, being there in Mid May meant that a lot of shops were still closed or under construction. While the views and the breeze was absolutely breathtaking, I was disappointed by the lack of options and things to do at the time I was there. I checked online for all the new food shops that were being advertised as ‘now open’ - only to find out they’d be officially open a week later. Why false advertise and lie to people? I had to find alternative plans for places to eat and some of them were only taking bookings. In the end I found some places to eat and do shopping. The trip was definitely worth it but it would’ve been even better if stores and restaurants were open as advertised. However, this is a must visit place to spend some time taking in the scenery of the palm trees, modern architecture, yachts and ocean views. There always someone around to help you if you need assistance and mini LED maps with a list of restaurants, shops and activities in the area. Be sure to check it out and have your cameras ready.

Yalıkavak Marina is a delightful destination offering a relaxed yet upscale coastal experience. The marina itself is beautifully designed, with sleek walkways lined by luxury yachts and top-tier boutiques—an ideal place for a leisurely stroll or some scenic window shopping. The dining scene is excellent, with a wide range of restaurants and cafés providing stunning sea views and diverse cuisines. Notable spots like Zuma and Novikov stand out for both ambiance and quality. Even if you’re dining by the water, the atmosphere is elegant without ever feeling stuffy. Amenities are top-notch: the marina consistently wins awards (like the TYHA’s “Best Superyacht Marina” and “Clean Marina”) and is known for its high standards in service and facilities. The Yalıkavak Marina Hotel offers additional perks—beach access, a pool, spa and fitness centre, and private parking—adding to the overall convenience. On the flip side, it does get quite busy, especially during peak season, and prices tend to reflect its premium positioning. But for those seeking a refined seaside outing with plenty of charm and amenities, this place delivers. Overall, Yalıkavak Marina is a high-quality, scenic hub for dining, shopping, and strolling—an enjoyable and polished afternoon (or evening) by the Aegean.

Such a nice and super modern place. Best place in Bodrum. Best brand stores, best caffe’s and restaurants. The biggest yachts I’ve ever seen.

Attached is my feedback written to the marina - nobody replies. This marina is just taking money and don't manage relevant complaints. the shopping mall is nice, but the marina and their handling is not. After having a 20-minute intensive talk and clear fact with them, this is more than disappointing – and to be honest made me very angry.They are only defending formal positions and not at all listen to my customer feedback which they should value. Here are the facts: After booking and my captain communication I called the marina myself and asked about the places and positions. I expressed my wish to be near to the mall for a surprise event for my guests. The person on the phone said, there are no promises but said, there will be for sure a great solution nearby. Yes, it is not a formal confirmation, but a clear sign of making things possible for customers. We got the most far out place available. We asked to change without any positive reaction. The berths near the mall are 50% empty – I know some owners want to reserve – but no action to solve or explain. Your communication and advertising are misleading – and only for this – with my feedback you should react properly. The price of 1.000.-€ / night you are charging is the double / triple as other marinas around – which is ok -but service, experience and surrounding must be excellent. And to sum up these are the issues: Communication was not as it should have been and even worse you don’t find proper solutions to calm me down No feedback at booking, where boats this level and size all the time will be located – clear briefing totally missing The pier we are at P4 – the pier is broken and has safety issues, see pictures / video attached The mooring robes are too short, in very bad conditions and are massively full of barnacles. bad for operations. The power supply was broken and needed to be repaired. Is this service worth 1.000.- €? plus 200.- € for power and water ? Not at all! Is your management of a relevant complain good ? Not at all! Instead of fixing this on the phone or in person with me you ask me to send mails and spending senseless time to prove my concerns.

Visiting Bodrum then don’t miss this place. Lavish cuisine and haute couture brands surrounded by luxurious yachts. Must see.

Nice place to visit. There are many nice restaurants, shops, and luxury yachts. The atmosphere is calm and stylish. It’s a great place to walk, relax, and enjoy the sea view.

Absolutely loved Marina Bay Yalikavak! The view is stunning, the atmosphere is calm yet luxurious, and the staff are super friendly. Perfect spot for a relaxing evening by the sea. Such a beautiful place and a breathtaking view of the marina. One of my favorite spots in Yalikavak highly recommended! Can’t wait to come back!

Lots of sites around Bafa Lake Seven Monasteries site on hills in back if you fancy a climb. Down by the lake it's equally as peaceful,

Bafa Lake offers an ideal location for relaxation with its impressive setting, and full with visitors who prefer cooling off in the lakeside cafes & restaurants for enjoying the excellent view. As an ancient gulf transformed into a lake by the alluvial deposits of the river Meander (Buyuk Menderes), Lake Bafa, is situated at the foot of Mount Latmus, at the size of 10 miles length and 3 miles width. The lake is fed by little torrents and by the river Meander during the rainy season. The water flows back into the Meander along the same direction in the summer. The lake is rich for the great variety of fish , salmon, carpi, mullet principally. Also, at certain times, the lake and its environs are visited by thousands of wild ducks, pelicans, water hens, making a marvelous setting. As the cultural and historical values of the Bafa Lake; Heraclia Antic City takes place within the borders of the Lake, at the south west foot of Beşparmak Mountains. In the Antic City there are many historical buildings; these are Athena Temple, an Agora, Council Building, Public Bath, Theatre, Nymphaion (fountain building), and Endymion Temple.

Lake is very big and really beautiful. Just has bad smell in hot weather from aquatic plants. Also it's a home for a lot of kinds of birds

Peaceful place away from tourists. Definitely worth to visit once.

We always go to Herakleion with stunning views, decent restaurants and great ambience.

a beautiful place on the planet, another of the Creator’s many gifts to us; a bird sanctuary where it is possible to see their life in natural conditions; on the shore there are well-equipped places with cafes and comfortable benches for observing the beauty of life

Lake Bafa is a lake and a natural reserve, which is situated along the border line of the Soke District of Aydin Province. The main water sources of this lake are the water floods in the Great Menderes River and the mountains of the surrounding area. This is a peaceful place with a great beauty of nature. Sides of the lake are covered with pine trees, tamarisks and olive groves. The lake is full of various species of water plants, which appreciates living of many species of fishes in Lake Bafa. The lake is also a home to the various species of birds like dwarf cormorants, sea eagles, chameleons, owls, pink flamingos and many others. It is one of the best tourist places to visit in Turkey.

Very cheap but food not great, gave us the wrong order, staff don't understand any English at all, which is fair enough as its in Turkey. Food very mediocre quality and small portions. Much better options in Bodrum.

(Translated by Google) Very nice place, very nice service, great food, close to the beach (Original) Bardzo fajne miejsce bardzo miła obsługa super jedzenie blisko do plaży

(Translated by Google) Beautiful beach, great water. The beach bar is priced at the higher end, and the waiters were very friendly. Unlike the other vendors there, they had very good loungers. Unfortunately, the music was far too loud; it felt like a disco. (Original) Schöner Strand, Wasser top. Beach bar ist preislich oben anzusiedeln die Kellner waren sehr nett. Im Gegensatz zu den anderen Anbietern dort hatten sie sehr gute liegen. Leider viel zu laute Musik, man hat sich wie in der Disco gefühlt.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful beach, calm sea, clear water. Very comfortable loungers. Excellent beach service with cocktails and burgers. Very clean place. (Original) Spiaggia molto bella mare calmo acqua trasparente . Lettini molto comodi. Ottimo servizio in spiaggia con cocktel e hamburger. Posto molto pulito.

(Translated by Google) Near Bodrum, one of the best beaches, if not the best.. It's best to go in the morning and book a sun lounger, because later it gets crowded and tight.. Deckchairs are available after purchasing something from a shop. (Original) W okolicach Bodrum, jedna z lepszych plaż, jak nie najlepsza..Najlepiej wybrać się z rana i zarezerwować jakiś lezak, gdyż później jest tłoczno i ciasno..Leżaki udostępnianie po zakupie czegoś z kanjpy

(Translated by Google) At Bitezu Beach, there are so many shops along the beach that there is no space to walk between the shops and the beach! You can feel like you're in Greece even though you're in Türkiye. (Original) ビテズビーチは、ビーチ沿いに店が密集しているため、店とビーチの歩くスペースがない！ここはトルコにいながらギリシャ にいる気分になれる。

(Translated by Google) The sea isn't great, the sand is dark, like in the rest of the area. The services are good. (Original) Il mare non è granché, la sabbia è scura, come nel resto della zona. Bene i servizi

Worth a visit if you’re into archeology. Entry fee is on the pricey side. Some of the exhibits inside the towers aren’t marked clearly until I saw someone coming out the door. Once inside there are some interesting exhibits but it was a nice way to cool off. Lots of viewpoints for some nice photos. There’s a cafe and museum shop onsite.

The museum is within a 14th Century castle that is much larger and more grand than it appears from the outside. The artifact collection was incredible. And the views of the city and Aegean were absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend visiting.

Absolutely beautiful museum! 💙 Amazing views of Bodrum Bay, fascinating shipwrecks displayed on glass and many interesting exhibits. You can really feel the spirit of history here. We visited in October — no lines, calm atmosphere. Worth spending 3–4 hours! 🏛️✨

No air conditioning working in the exhibit areas. Very expensive entry fee but not much to see.

Worth a visit. Informative experience and a well laid out museum. The whole family enjoyed the tour, and we used the audio guide too.

A lots of artifacts dotted around the various towers of Bodrum Castle with a main exhibition hall. This was fascinating and a very insightful exhibition around trading in the Mediterranean during the antiquity. Well worth the pricey ticket.

This is a good place to visit. It will take approx. 2 hrs. to get around the whole place. If you're into history and likes to take their time and read about each display, maybe alot 3hrs? Make sure to wear shoes that are good for hiking and not slippery. Some steps are a bit steep and the stones are a bit slippery. Bring some water too to rehydrate. 😊

This place is huge and beautiful kept. We spent nearly 3 hours combing through every detail and exhibit. The grounds, museum and setting inside the castle takes you back to life in the country so many years ago. Definitely visit if you are in the Bodrum area. Very less crowds also, so you can really spend some time by yourself. Also, the photos of the harbour from the castle walls will come out so good!

I wasn't expecting a great deal from the castle, so we saved it for a cloudy day, but I was wrong because it is a fascinating place. I forgive, a little, the Crusaders who in the early 15th Century stole stone from the already 2000 year old Mausoleum of Helicarnassus to refurbish and strengthen the existing ancient castle. But, in doing so, they created the historical and architectural heart of the Bodrum area. The local shipwrecks and their history just add an extra layer of interest and I defy any woman not to try on the golden crown of Artemesia. If, indeed, it was her. It is a very well spent 3 hour alternative to the bars and the beach, so if you are feeling footloose (final photo!) Do try it.

Quite disappointing to be fair!!! €23 entry fee wasn’t really worth it… maybe €10-12 would be better 👍🏻 I’ve noticed since been in Turkey & Bodrum, this country really loves to milk the tourists for there money 💰 a few old towers, a few old pots & statues, somewhat decent views but not a lot to see for the price you pay !!!! I was there almost 2 hours, hoping to find something profoundly interesting & utterly unique but not much else… the highlight was the indoor ship & if you wanted to see the other “ behind the glass ship “ that’s an extra €6 !!!! There are far greater things to spend €23 on but that’s my opinion 👋🏻

It's a large castle with a lengthy history and lots to see. Even without paying extra for the. Museum there are numerous displays from shipwrecks just off the coast. The day we went was extremely hot so we struggled as seniors to see everything. The separate buildings have fans to cool you down and that helped. As castles go it's a good one to visit.

An awesome experience! This Castle is full of history and it was an inspired idea to use the various rooms & towers to tell stories of local archaeology as well as the shipwreck finds. There are 2 impressive reconstructions of ships and plenty of bilingual panels to learn about each display. Other archaeological exhibits include a realistic recreation of the Carian Princess which shows us that the ancients weren't too different from us. An absolute must for history and shipwreck buffs!

The castle is very big and there is a lot of stairs. The view from above is unmatchable. If you have spare time don't miss it just take is slow and easy.

The scenic location of the castle is certainly dominant - Right on Aegean Sea! We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of visiting and touring the castle, which is very well preserved and full of historical artefacts. It is certainly worth visiting.

I had a good experience in akbük but i heard that it used to be more relaxing and beautiful over there but now its too crowded and not that good if you just want to chill out. There's a beautiful forest there too but the fire department won't let you camp there unfortunately. And if you want to camp you either should find a place before actually getting to akbük or you have to camp in the campsites which are too crowded and in my opinion awful ! And overpriced

From Akyaka it is almost 50 min distancr by car, a challenging Road but a hidden town by the sea and Mountain. Clean sea and perfect nature

Great bay with clean water and amazin nature. Having a camping site is a plus!

The water is amazing and worth a visit. There are a few small open air places that will serve you food and drinks. Paid 10try to park but worth every penny to swim in these waters. The beach is small but they sell chairs and umbrellas if needed but you dont come here to sit on the beach. I wish i had diving equipment with me.

Be ready for very loud music for the whole day until 12, especially well heared if you are on a yacht. Worst mooring experience in Turkey so far

One of the perfect place to have rest and swim. Still not commercial and “touristic”. Some sea side hotels and restaurants are occupying the beach but still it’s kind of “vlrgin” place for holiday.

Very clear sea and silent ambiance.

Not bad in view of the fact that there is no alternative in the neighborhood( Music and performances are charged extra 30 tl per person.

Best and only place to listen jazz music in Selimiye. Musicians awesome😊

Nice for a drink. And good music. Little bit expensive

Great to watch the world go by

Good music but staff a little slow

You can Listen to best jazz in town!

Lovely live music

You will not believe your eyes when you see the azmak River. Crystal clear water and really cold. Deffinetly swim you will cool down in second in hot summer day

We had a very nice boat trip for a good price. River is beautiful.

In such a beautiful location by the stream, even tea and coffee was a pleasure!

This review is for the river it self. Unbelievable. Never seen anything so natural and amazing. Cristal clear water with incredibly beautiful see weed and fish. A natural aquarium. The boats take you for a tour for very reasonable price.

The river and surrounding ambience is phenomenal. One should really need to hop on a boat and enjoy the slow ride with tremendous scenery. However, I suggest you pack your meal, even get your drinking water with you. The restaurants are below average, sometimes far from edible and truly undeservingly expensive.

Quaint little seaside town about 40 mins from Marmaris with a beautiful landscape and mountains surrounding. Take a leisurely cruise down the river or just chill at one of the wayside cafes. Tranquillity and peace. Awesome place to spend a day and just unwind

This river is wonderful, nature is awesome, there are lots of sea fishes inside, like a protection place... The water is brillant like an aquarium... Must see

Most people friendly and salt of the earth. Couldn’t do enough for you. Any time of the day or night, there would be shops open. Some phenomenal evenings, breakfasts and lunches at The Majestic by the beautiful flower lined and walkbridge connected Canal. Surprisingly though, prices were similar to Sydney, Aus. prices or a little cheaper. It wasn’t as cheap as I had expected for such a small town. Overall, my experience in Içmeler was fondly memorable! Worth the trip.

A nice beach in the centre of icmeler. It was empty in October so Marmaris is better if you want a more lively atmosphere, however if you want some peace and quiet this is the place to go. I’d imagine it’s quite different in the middle of the summer!

Pleasant little town. We walked here from our hotel in Marmaris. Took just under an hour. Bars and shops aplenty. Water taxi to take you to and from Marmaris is a nice and fairly inexpensive form of travel if don't want to walk.

Sunbeds free of you buy drinks / for from the bars. Didn't get hassle once we got a bed and service was great

Just went today.. was awesome water pure clear and clean.. there was a public beach in between the two business which was wide enough and had a good space for all. Sandy Beach and market nearby with reasonable price.. enjoyed and chilled a lot

Nice beach bit crowded in places best to get sunbeds from one of the restaurants and have food and drinks there. You get free sunbeds and WiFi while there then

The beach is nice but tiny pebbles and not sand . We used the sunbeds belonging to coco bar there.if you buy a drink you don't pay for sunbeds and they come round for you to order drinks , Had food in there too and was very nice ,people are so lovely there

It's okay, but you can't really call it a waterpark. It is more of a splash park. Slides are okay, but once again, not what you would expect when it is sold to you as a water park/aqua park. It will feel like better value for money if one were to come with kids or teenage kids; otherwise, you will be in and out in a maximum of two hours. They have a soft play area on site. Not had any issues with staff personally but I do agree with other comments about them being glued to the phones. And, yes, I've seen them as well lit a cigarette and chill at the top of the slides.

I've visited many water parks across Spain, and while they tend to be massive, Marmaris Atlantis Water Park is smaller in comparison. That said, we had a fantastic time! The park was clean, with plenty of lifeguards ensuring safety. The food service was efficien and our order was delivered quickly. Overall, it was a great experience, and we’d definitely come back!

Small, but good fun for kids and a change from the hotel pool. Free shuttle bus picks you up and takes you back later. Your entry also includes access to the sunbeds on the beach in front of the water park, where you can come in and out as many times as you want. Drinks and food can also be had on the beach.

Great fun, everything close by. Slides are great fun. Little slide for younger ones. Beach over the road. You can go in & out of the park

Good water park with a view and its own beach with enough sun beds, you can come in and out more than once, there are enough water slides and a wave pool.

We were sold this experience by the rip-off merchant, known as Murat, a holiday rep, who does nothing but rip-off guests. This excursion, for example is only 24TL and he sold it to us for 35TL each. I don't know why a minibus was required considering it was a few minutes walk from the Point Beach Hotel (a budget hotel masquerading as a 4* hotel). The staff were lovely at the water park. In particular the two lifeguards near the blue slide. All the slides are fantastic including the wave machine. There was very little waiting time and we had a great deal of fun. The only point of note was that the restaurant where we ordered our food would not serve us at the sunbeds. It was only the white water park users that got that service, we had to order our food in at the desk at then collect it from there when we were ordered to. We would not eat there again, we'd rather go elsewhere.

There seem to be a lot of poor reviews on Trip Advisor, but we had an excellent day at Atlantis Water Park. Unfortunately, we headed out too late to catch the free shuttle bus (between 9 & and 11.30am, I think from your hotel) but we grabbed a cab straight there which was only 200 Lira (a fiver). I pre-booked online as recommended. Cost is around £19 for an adult, and £10 for under 11's. You can spend the whole day there and with the wristband, come and go as you please. You also have access to a private section of the beach with loungers and brollies. The park itself is perfect for adults not looking for anything too crazy and kids. It might not have scary enough flumes for teenagers, although my 18yr old loved it. It was perfect for my 9yr old. We stayed the whole day and bought snacks and drinks from the attached bar. Some reviews say the park is run down, but we had no issue with it. It was clean, and that's the main thing. I'd recommend a visit!

Came here mid November we were fortunate enough to have lovely weather for a couple days, the beach is clean and if you sit near one the the restaurants or bars they allow you to use the Sun Loungers and give you free WiFi providing you purchase a drink from them.

clean water, clean beach, you can have tours from there, lovely sun

The sand is brown ,it's kind of dry clay in most of the parts, don't expect white fine sand. The sea is brown as well, if you go to the deep part it can be a little bit more clear. If you want to go snorkeling ,that's isn't the beach ,go to Turunç, Turunç is amazing. Marmaris beach facilities are spectacular, showers everywhere, places to get changed and toilets. Amazing facilities.

A sandy beach stretches on the part of the coast of Marmaris and belongs to the municipality, it is crowded most of the time in the morning and evening, there are public sanitary facilities and places for changing clothes, as well as places for bathing and washing the body after going to the sea. There is a nearby park that has children's games.

Parked in the new carpark along the front, lots of space and walked the whole length of marmaris, there was a kite festival so they were everywhere. Wandered back along the pazar area which has lots of little shops, lovely afternoon

Great place to go if you want to just have a swim and peace and quiet.

Lots to do and some fantastic restaurants

Really great experience and good if you have kids but make sure they have a swim suit or trucks on and take a towel coz if they stand close to the fountain they will get wet , show starts 9pm nightly and is done to music worth the watch

Great fountain with lights, music ...it all start at 9 pm

Finally got to see the famous dancing fountains in Marmaris — they start at 9pm and are definitely a highlight of any visit here. 💦✨ The music, lights, and water displays are brilliant, and the atmosphere is buzzing with families and holidaymakers. Can’t believe it’s taken me five trips to actually see them, but worth the wait!

Not as breathtaking as Dubai fountain, obviously on the much smaller scale. Still, lovely spot. I recommend to visit after sunset. Nice to chill and relax. Lovely, calming atmosphere.

Really good show. Lasts about 20mins, worth a visit.

Beautiful area in Marmaris! Such a pretty area to just sit and relax for a little while!

Beautiful night time attraction free of charge .Well done to town of Marmaris 👏

Marmaris Marina is a stunning waterfront destination that captivates visitors with its beauty and charm. The marina boasts a picturesque setting, surrounded by azure waters and lush greenery, creating a serene oasis in the heart of the city. Strolling along the promenade, visitors can admire the luxury yachts and sailboats, adding to the glamorous atmosphere. The marina is also home to a variety of cafes, restaurants, and shops, offering something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you're taking a leisurely walk, enjoying a meal with a view, or simply soaking in the tranquil ambiance, Marmaris Marina is a must-visit destination in Turkey.

Lovely for a swim but lots of stones so u will need beach shoes. No sun beds or loungers. Just bring ur Towel and sit on sand. There is a little bit with a rail that has man made hard floor under sea to get into sea to avoid the stones

Very nice place to wait for a ferry. Bathrooms are super clean! See a bunny or two while you are there.

Very nice well designed place with whatever a sailor can need such as warm water, every time clean big spaced toilets with hair dryer. Good shopping area with many cafes restaurants and sailing shops, a very close super market just next to marine, close to heart of Marmaris just a few minutes walk you are in castle historic area and bar streets.

It used to be very nice and friendly, in the last two years prices have become unreasonable. Let me explain: first of all is very noisy at night (both from night clubs but also fron other boats partying) but the worst thing is the high speed powerboats entering or leaving the marina. So once in while unexpected waves come out of the blue caused by tenders. Additionally the behavior of certain staff + the refusal to speak English is funny when working in tourism! There is a rule in marketing called "willingness to pay", i don't mind the higher cost BUT downgrading the quality of your services is serious.

The marina is impeccably clean and well run, the town has everything you cod need to refit your boat with. Most of the mariners speak good English and are very helpful and the technical support is also readily available. It is also a very safe and secure marina with someone attentively patroling on a tender through the night .

A very beautiful landscape, a well-maintained and clean promenade, lots of services.

Absolutely amazing ancient ruins. Quite a hike from one plateau to another but worth it. The boat across was 100TL for two people return. And the pancakes at the cafe on that side were amazing. Well worth a visit. If you go into the cemetery and walk straight on, then take a little turn right at the fence you can get a closer look at the rock tombs.

An amazing relic of the past. I'd like to give everyone a little information here. There is no need to get a boat trip to visit this place. Walk along the front in the direction of the sea. (Left). You will see a restaurant on the other side. There is a row boat service to take you to over. The cost is insignificant. You will see a single road on the other side. Simply walk along it for approximately 20 minutes and you will arrive at Caunos. You can not miss it. It's an easy walk for most people. You do have to get in and out of the boat, obviously but you will be helped. These are pictures of the crossing point.

Well worth a visit to the extensive ruins. Took the car ferry as foot passengers from river by Hotel Portleva. Fare 20 lira each way (cash). Then 15 minutes easy walk on a road. Entry fee 140 lira each again cash only. Visited from 4pm on 1 October and only a very few people were there. The amphitheatre is being renovated but still accessible. The lower level by the river is river is accessible by an ancient paved path which is uneven in places -saw a few big lizards. It’s possible to cross the river by row boat from the town centre but this means a longer walk on the other side.

Kaunos is a must see if you’re in the area! So much amazing history to see and gorgeous views over the water! Remember to bring water as it’s HOT up there… they have opened a little cafe to grab a drink too.

Kaunos is an ancient city located in the province of Muğla, Turkey, near the modern town of Dalyan. Once a strategically important port city, it is now situated several kilometers inland due to the silting of its harbor over centuries. The city is on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List and is known for its unique blend of Carian, Lycian, Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine influences. There is quite a lot of restoration work but it doesn't detract from what you see. There are bilingual signs outlining what each structure is and it's history. All in all, it's like the entertainment quarter for the ancient inhabitants of this area. Entry is 150 Turkish Lira payable at the top. The walk up is very dusty and hot. I recommend good walking shoes, a hat and water.

4th visit. This time I decided to walk to the highest point where the castellations are. It was a difficult ascent which took about 30 min's beyond the ampitheatre. Don't think I'd do that walk again but if you're up for a challenge go for it. The views are panoramic once at the top

Nice historical place with splendidviews! The ticket costs 150 turkish lira per person (only cash).

Great place great scenery

Enjoyed the trip by boat all the way to the mud and thermal water park. Mythologically, It is been said that the river is filled by tears of a prince whose love left him for his brother. On the mountains there, they crafted their Graves.

Great place. Beautiful scenery in the boat ride that we took. The ancient graves in the mountains is a great scene and not to be missed.

Fantastic day trip whilst staying in Dalaman area of Turkey. Natural Mud baths and heated pool, boat ride, turtles and beach. A real must for anyone visiting this region of Turkey. £20 per person food included

Heaven, whether you are on a public river taxi or a private hire

Stunning scenery, highly recommend the River trip to turtle beach.

Nice trip by the boat

Beautiful and fascinating area after a lovely walk from Dalyan, very peaceful. Full of history but also interesting wildlife and great views

Great tombs to see and you can get amazing views from restaurants on the other side of the river and boat trips. Theres also some great local drink stands with refreshing drinks nearby which I highly recommend.

Every time we visit Dalyan we always hop along the river to visit Caunos/Kaunos to see for ourselves what secrets have been revealed again. If you go prepare for a walk of half an hour (max). It's a nice walk and people along the road sell fresh orange juice/honey/olives and pome granate for a fair price. Enjoy!

You can access the entrance either with ferry departing from Dalyan(if you dont have a car, you can walk 15minutes once you land on the other side) or riding via çandır road. No visitor, no park guy was there when we visited but actually this is a Museum Card zone. Incredibly beatiful, a must visit place

Beautiful place to visit and take pictures. Pictures taken from the canal as we went via an excursion we booked. Beautiful to see and how well it has preserved

Without a doubt, when Caunos is in question, most people and historians think about the Tombs of the Kings. These tombs belong to the real kinds of Caunos nation, and they are carved into a mountain. In their belief, the dead should be buried and the higher the location of the tomb of the buried, the closer the person could be to the gods. This is why, all these tombs are carved on the top of the mountains, which is almost impossible to climb today. You can enjoy the beautiful and breathtaking scenery of these Tombs of the Kings, which were carved during the 4th century BC. Keep in mind that you can find plenty of beautiful holiday villas to stay in the area by visiting our homepage right now!

I wish I had actually visited them. Saw them at night all lit up on the other side of the river at Dalyan.

Very nice, spacious and clean sandy beach. Water is crystal clear and it's shallow for like 20 meters. The only downside was the parasols; they're rather small and don't have great coverage. However the beach is pretty cheap -100 TL for a couple of beds and a parasol - so it's definitely worth it.

Great beach with cafe , toilets, changing etc. entrance is 200TL for the car and 350TL for 2 sunbeds .

This is our first trip to İztuzu Beach by car, and the journey is quite long. The breathtaking views on the drive to the beach make it worthwhile. The parking lot costs ₺200, and payment is required upon entry. They also provide changing rooms and restrooms. There is a restaurant and tanning area where you can pay ₺165 per person or ₺350 for two wooden sun loungers, or choose a free one on the sand. The beach was extremely crowded. The only thing you have to do when you go swimming in the sea, all you have to do is walk far enough until the water is deep enough. İztuzu Beach is absolutely stunning; unfortunately, we did not get to see any turtles, but we had an enjoyable time. I recommend it purely for the experience.

İztuzu Plajı is one of the most beautiful and unique beaches in Turkey. The sand is golden, the water is shallow and warm, and the scenery is amazing with mountains on one side and the river delta on the other. What makes it special is that it’s also a protected nesting area for Caretta Caretta turtles, so it feels like you’re visiting both a beach and a natural reserve. There are no big hotels or loud music, which keeps it peaceful. Best to bring your own snacks and water, and respect the turtle areas. Truly a natural paradise!

One of my favourite in Turkey. Perfectly clean, wise, and beautiful. Dalyan in general is a magic place for a vacation. You can get there by the boat, or by the bus service. It takes around 30 minutes, both ways are enjoyable though, views etc. A lot of empty space, if you walk a little far from the sun lounges. Sandy clean beach, warm clean sea, perfect

I liked this beach a lot. The fee is not that much (2€ per car, no matter how many people are inside it), there are public toilets and showers (with cold, salty water) and the beach is clean. The water doesn't get deep enough for swimming for more than 50meters which makes it ideally for kids. You can also visit the Turtle Hospital (which is located close to the entrance). There is also shadow under some pine trees, but if you arrive after 10am most probably you will find it already occupied. At times it gets very windy. The restaurant inside has reasonable prices.

Very nice!! Wish we had better weather

The beach was fine but the views on the road to get there almost earned it 5 stars. There is water sports and people available to take you out on a boat. The road to get there isn't for a novice driver but as long as you go slow you'll get there, it was my first time driving left hand drive and I had a blast heading down it.

Stunning beach with turquoise water. The maim beach is a bit crowded but the hidden gem is on the left hand side. Take the walking trail on the left and walk 10 minutes. You will fall in love with the crystal clear turquoise blue water.

Great Beach , entrance 200TL for a car , 150TL for 2 sunbeds at the time of writing. Sandy beach with easy access to the water , lovely place with a quirky cafe, note that the whole place is card only - NO CASH.

This is my most favorite bay in this area. On the weekends it is too crowded because it is very popular due to its fame and perfect sea and forest combination of nature but during the weekdays it is a perfect choice.

Good beach . Amazing view and lovely place . Deserve blue flag

One of the most beautiful spots to see in Dalaman area. The beach is great early in the morning if you want to get the most of it. Entry to the parking 200TL, sunbeds for 150TL. The road is a bit challenging but it’s worth it.

TL 200 entrance per car, payment by card only. Loud public announcements. Beatiful views of bay. But can be crowded and everybody smokes.
