Nestled along Turkey's Turquoise Coast lies the town of Dalaman. Centered around its small airport, Dalaman serves as a convenient transportation hub for those visiting the surrounding region. While some simply pass through, Dalaman's combination of natural beauty and accessibility make it worth exploring. Take time to enjoy the scenic Dalaman River estuary and spot roseate spoonbills along its shores. Hike through lush forests to hidden Ethno-archaeological sites and traditional villages. Stay at rural farmhouse guesthouses where you can enjoy homemade jams, honey and organic produce. Or book into family-run pensions near the town center, steps from restaurants and markets. Enjoy inexpensive locally-caught seafood and farmer's market bounty. |
