Dalaman

Boasting white sand beaches, turquoise waters, Roman ruins and rural mountain towns it is no wonder that the coastal area around Dalaman has long been a firm favourite for holiday makers. In resort towns like Olu Deniz and Icmeler you will find a fun and relaxing vibe with sea and sand during the day and bustling bars and restaurants in the evening.  For a day away from the beach you can join a tour to the nearby mountains where ancient hamlets give you a picturesque view of traditional Turkish life and of course there are thrilling views of the beautiful scenery. Holidays to Dalaman and the nearby area are perfect whether you’re looking for a little or a lot of relaxation.
