Things to do in and around Dalyan

• Take a boat up river and visit the mud baths, the hot springs, or the little town of Koycegiz on market day. Or take a boat for an evening barbecue and a swim in the lake.
• Take the rowing boat ferry across the river and explore the amphitheatre and temples in the ancient city of Kaunos.
• Hire a boat for the day (pictured above) and be taken out to sea. Anchor at a deserted cove for a beach barbeque and some excellent snorkelling.
• Take a jeep safari to explore the mountains and the surrounding countryside. The trip includes lunch at a beautiful restaurant built over a fast flowing stream, walking up a gorge and a sea swim.
• White water rafting. An exhilarating, full day trip with professional guides.
• Horse riding and biking.
• A 12 island cruise. You are driven to the elegant marina at Gocek. From there, you spend the day cruising around the bay, stopping at the islands, snorkelling, investigating the ancient ruins that can be found ashore.

All of the above trips, and others, can be arranged by your English-speaking hosts, Manzara Villas.
