Dalaman Holidays
Dalaman, on Turkey's Turquoise Coast, is a diverse holiday destination with a range of beautiful Blue Flag beaches, lots of historical sites, lively nightlife areas, and a plethora of Instagrammable natural beauty spots. No wonder it’s been attracting visitors since ancient times!
The coastline is a mixture of secluded mountain-backed coves, bays and long stretches of fine sand. The famous Blue Lagoon in Olu Deniz must be one of the most beautiful spots in the whole of Europe. Holidays in Dalaman are more than just a fly and flop beach affair though, it’s a great base from which to explore the fascinating history of the area, such as the ancient city of Kaunos, Fethiye’s Lycian Rock Tombs and the Ancient City of Tlos. A little further away but easily reachable is Ephesus, the second largest city of the ancient Mediterranean, which served as a bridge between the East and West for centuries. Here you will find one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Temple of Artemis.
If you’re looking for a memorable family or luxury holiday, Dalaman should be at the top of your list.
Essential Information: When you go and what you'll need
Getting Around
The Dalaman area of Turkey is one of the most popular spots for a holiday and so it’s easy to get around with the various modes of public transport available. Dolmus minibuses run within and between the various resorts, and buses also connect places further afield. Taxis are plentiful around the clock, and you should be able to walk to most places within your resort. Car hire is readily available, too, both at the airport and within resorts, and is a great way of exploring if you like to have that freedom. Remember to be extra-vigilant on the roads though, and stick to the right hand side.
