Dalyan/Caunos
Once a busy harbour town, ancient Caunos is near the beautiful 6 km long Turtle beach with the sea on one side and a lake on the other. It is the breeding ground of the near-extinct Caretta Caretta turtles. The historical harbour city of Caunos is famous for its Lycian tombs. Climb up to enjoy the fabulous view from the acropolis over the entire region, stretching out to the sea.

Caunos used to be one of the most important towns of the antique era. The inhabitants of Caunos fought for independence until the victory of Xerxes against Persians. An important harbour and trade city, Caunos once was located right by the sea. In a course of time, the coasts enlarged 3 km towards the sea and the harbour started to turn into a marsh in the 1st century A.C. Today what is left on this magnificent harbour is a small lake. There are remains of a Roman bathhouse, early Byzantine church, a library, and amphitheatre. All remains are in excellent state and have been preserved for the generations yet to come! The lake of Koycegiz is ideal for the small boat rides with a passage through narrow aisles.

Bath in the mud baths with its anti-aging ingredients! Cameras are a must!

Turkish Hamam
Owing to the emphasis placed on cleanliness in Turkish society, there have been public bathhouses 'hamam' in Turkey since medieval times. There are separate baths for men and women, or, when there is only one bathhouse in the town, different days or times of day are allocated for men and women. After entering the 'hamam' and leaving your clothes in a cubicle, you proceed wrapped in a towel 'pestamal' to the 'göbektasi', a large heated stone where you relax and are rubbed down by a bath attendant. If the heat proves too much, you can retire to a cooler room for a while. This method of bathing is most refreshing and many of the old marble baths are extremely interesting, architecturally.

Hint: visit the Hamam at the beginning of your holiday to scrub away tiredness and old skin cells, this provides a great base for your suntan and ensures it lasts that bit longer when you get home.

Paragliding (Fethiye)
