Dalaman town itself is a charming reflection of quiet and peaceful countryside living, with real people living real lives.  The close by and conveniently located Dalaman International airport is an award winning building that comfortably paths the way for tourists to arrive at this beautiful area of the Aegean and Mediterranean.  Landing in Dalaman is a joy in itself.  The planes arrive from over the sea and land on the coastline just passing the beach by a couple of kilometres.  The backdrop of mountains and hills are stunning, everywhere is green and lush with tropical flowers and plants indigenous to the beautiful Mediterranean climate.

From Dalaman there are many places of outstanding natural beauty to visit and explore.  Nearby is Sarigerme village and holiday resort that boasts seven kilometres of coastline, sandy beaches, shallow warm waters, with a backdrop of pine forests, perfect for any couple or family wishing to swim and relax.  The areas surrounding Dalaman are all relaxing and peaceful, the feeling of safety is tangible and the local people are friendly and helpful.

Also very nearby to Dalaman is the traditional Turkish village of Koycegiz, a nature and wildlife preserve and an area of historical importance dating back to 3,500 B.C.  The area boasts a healthy economy based on the cultivation of cotton, olives and peanuts.  Fishing here sees an income based mostly on the sale of grey mullet and bass which swim up the Dalyan stream to spawn in Koycegiz.  Nature and wildlife is abundant and plentiful in these areas as they have been largely untouched; life here is much as it was in ancient times.

Dalyan village is an area of outstanding historical interest and a popular visitor’s attraction located conveniently close by to Dalaman.  It is a paradise nestled along the riverside with the local Dalyan people always showing visitors a warm and friendly welcome.  The opposite side of the river boasts Caunos.  Caunos is the second largest archaeological site in Turkey that unearths more and more historical treasures every year.  This living museum is available for everyone to explore, to capture the atmosphere of what life may have been like in ancient times.

A short tranquil boat ride from Dalyan is Iztuzu beach.  Iztuzu is known widely as ‘Turtle Beach’ and is a natural wonder that is awarded for its continual preservation of the small, delicate region in which the Caretta Turtles find safe and clean enough to lay their precious eggs every year.

These and all the areas in the South West region of Turkey have many wonderful things in common.  Much importance is placed on food and the dining culture in this district as the climate ensures ripe and abundant fresh produce which the local people turn into delicious meals.  Hospitality and a friendly welcome are found everywhere here from the local residents, they enjoy a safe and helpful way of life in their towns and villages and this feeling is shared happily with tourists visiting the area.
