Dalaman
The incredibly scenic region of Dalaman is located on the Turquoise Coast, named for the azure colour of the water in this part of Turkey. Lush green hills and mountains surround the wide natural stretch of beach which is both beautiful and pleasantly subdued. The town of Dalaman has plenty of shops, restaurants and bars, and local thermal springs provide an opportunity to truly relax. Visitors can spend a day exploring the nearby Dalyan nature reserve, or the ancient city ruins of Kaunos. Although there are many busy and popular resorts nearby, Dalaman is the ideal destination for those who want to be close to nature, and enjoy some peace and relaxation in beautiful surroundings.
