SightsKaunos RuinsAncient city ruins where visitors can explore several areas, including the theater.
After crossing the river, it takes about 15–30 minutes to walk to the ruins, and there is a steep unpaved section in front of the entrance. Allow time for the walk and wear comfortable shoes.
ActivitiesDalyan Strait Boat TripA boat tour up and down the Dalyan River to see Lycian rock tombs. Meals are usually included, along with a long break at İztuzu Beach and a stop for a mud bath.
Reviews say different operators quoted widely varying prices for the same 1-hour river tour, so compare the total fares of several boats before boarding.
ActivitiesDalyan Mud BathsOne of the usual stops on a Dalyan boat tour, featuring mud baths and sulfur hot springs.
When your visit overlaps with boat tour groups, the mud baths and shared areas become crowded, so avoid peak group times for a more relaxed visit.

SightsRadar TepesiA hill overlooking central Dalyan, the delta, and the Mediterranean Sea.

ShoppingDalyan Saturday MarketA market held every Saturday, selling local fruit, vegetables, honey, and more.
Reviews consistently say Dalyan Market is held only on Saturdays, so check the cruise call day before planning a visit.

About Marmaris
This big, brash resort city has two faces, and they're hard to reconcile. From the sea, a line of hotels stretches around the northern edge of a great bay, the whole encircled by a magical necklace of pine-clad mountains. Behind those same hotels, however, the city has been overwhelmed by boxy concrete development and streets lined with a hundred generically named eateries. An annual horde of European tourists descends on these workaday establishments, but for the international traveler, there is little about Marmaris that can’t be savored elsewhere in Turkey. Although it is a pretty spot, there isn’t much reason to linger unless you are meeting a yacht, traveling on to the Greek island of Rhodes, or perhaps snapping up an unbeatable deal at one of the top resorts, some of which are spectacular worlds unto themselves.
