| Dalaman is a district situated on the south-west coast of
Turkey. You can travel to Dalaman from any major UK airport;
when you arrive why not experience some of Dalaman's finest
features. Explore the mountains Take a day excursion and discover the local area in greater detail but don't limit yourself to the public transport; why not go that extra mile and rent your own car. With your own car you can now take your day trip at your own pace and leisure. Drive to Dalyan; it's located around 24km from Dalaman. If you're love animals you will appreciate visiting this town and you might even catch a glimpse of the resident cranes, storks and kingfishers. In fact, the whole town is an environmentally protected area. This is due to the decline in numbers of Loggerhead Turtles; it is hard to see these increasingly rare creatures now as during their critical breeding dates the few remaining migratory beaches are off limits to visitors in order to protect them. If Dalyan is not your thing, drive to Fethiye where you can discover the rock tombs that were carved into the cliff walls. Its marina and waters are also a favourite with scuba divers. Eating out When deciding to dine out in Dalaman you will have so much choice. Due to its close proximity to the local waterways most of the food served consists of fish, anchovies, sardines and vegetables. Other staple dishes incorporate lamb, chicken, lentils, onions, almonds and yoghurt. There are many other more familiar places to eat to satisfy your needs while in the district including fast food restaurants such as McDonalds, KFC and Burger King.

Purses and wallets at the ready, we're going shopping In Turkey when you go shopping you need to be able to haggle.
