My children were 13 and 16 and I had to pay full price. It was nice and the guide was very good .
Winding its way from Lake Koycegiz to the Agean, the River Dalyan is as peaceful as it is pretty. And today, you'll get to see it from all angles during this guided trip to Dalyan. Gökhan, one of our guides, says of the valley, "God has made this place so beautiful, with hot springs and Turkey's most beautiful beach. And there's a varied ecosystem, with migrating birds and turtles."
Leaving in the morning, you'll head to Dalyan Harbour with your guide, in the heart of the town. Here, you'll hop aboard an eco-friendly boat for a trip along the Dalyan River. Your guide will tell you about the different wildlife that hang their hats in this part of Turkey, and the skipper will slow the boat down when you approach the ancient Lycian tombs. These ancient temples were carved into the cliffs near the river over 1,000 years ago.
You'll trundle along a patch of the river at a relaxed pace. Eventually, you'll pop a U-turn and head back to Dalyan, where you'll hace some free time to explore the town. Wander along the waterfront, dip into one of the bars or restaurants for a bite to eat, shop for spice sets, ceramics and more in the different souvenirs shops – the choice is yours.
