What to expect

If your return flight departs late in the evening, then this is a great way to make the most of your last day in Turkey. There's lots to look forward to, including a scenic Dalyan riverboat cruise, an anti-ageing mud bath and a riverside lunch. You'll also have some free time on Iztuzu beach, renowned for its turtle sanctuary. At the end of the day, you'll be able to freshen up and refuel before your flight in a nearby no-frills hotel. Ceren, one of our expert local guides, says, 'Nature rules at Iztuzu Beach, aka Turtle beach. A magical spot with a dramatic setting, new resorts were planned here in the 1980s, but these were scrapped and instead some areas of the 4km long beach are protected for nesting Loggerhead turtles.'

Cruise down the River Dalyan on an eco-boat designed to minimise impact on wildlife, heading for the mud baths. Treat your skin with the anti-ageing clay and have a dip in the warm sulphur pool. After a tasty lunch of freshly prepared local specialities at a riverside restaurant, rejoin your river boat to sail past the rock-hewn Lycian Tombs dating to 400BC.

Next, we'll set sail for Iztuzu beach, a haven of natural beauty. There's free time for swimming, sunbathing and enjoying the unblemished surroundings. Finally, we'll head back to a local no-frills hotel for a chance to freshen up. You won't go hungry either, with a buffet dinner to tuck into. And what's more, you'll have the use of a hotel room right up until the transfer to the airport.

    Vulcan was a good tour guide. His explanation about the tourist spot was great and very informative. The lunch was ok. The mud bath as an experience. If you have a sensitive skin, dont do it. Don't forget to bring your own towel as it will cost 250tlr. Bring your own water was well to keep you hydrated.

    Great day to spend the last day with plenty packed in. The river cruise especially was fantastic and we managed to get to see the turtles. I did have issues with getting to some of the places because of my mobility but the staff and other guests helped me on and off the boat as there was a high step. The only think was a disappointment was the food at the river cafe stop for lunch and drink cost there which were much higher than on boat. Hotel for shower and rest good idea and close to airport.

    Really enjoyed the sailing / cruising. My only issue - a minor one was the cats at the restaurant that were walking around and begging for food. There were signs up not the feed them but some in our party were not happy with them under the tables tapping their legs.

    We found the tour guide amazing, knowledgeable, great English and funny. Staff at the hotel were not helpful, and drinks were not included so we had to pay for them. We were told we would be fully all inclusive at hotel reflecting the package we had at Cettia Beach. We found the hotel to be basic and one of our rooms had no AC despite asking for assistance with this. Food at the hotel was good, but was a little disappointed to have to pay for drinks. Staff were rude and not forthcoming.

Secret Valley Visit with Boat Cruise & Lunch

It's not too far from your resort to the Secret Valley, but it feels like a world away. This tour will see you boating through the valley's stunning canyons, before having a few hours of free time to relax and unwind. Drive through amazing mountainous scenery before boarding on to a traditional wooden river craft. Cruise lazily along the placid waters of the Secret Valley's reservoir, soaking up the views to a soundtrack of tweeting birds.When it's time to take a break, we'll stop at a sheltered spot on the edge of the lake. Soak up some sunshine and relax on one of the sunbeds here, before tucking into a typical local lunch. In the afternoon, you'll have some more time to sunbathe, give zip-lining a try and go for a stroll through the woods here, before hopping back on the boat and returning to the harbour where you started. From here, all that's left is the transfer back to your accommodation.

Half-day Marmaris 4x4 Off-road Safari Tour

This off-road safari is dynamite. Enjoy a half-day of sightseeing, add a military-style convoy of 4x4s, and top it all off with swims in special locations – think a natural plunge pool under a secret waterfall and a secluded pine-fringed beach. A perfect mix if ever there was one.Once you're strapped in, the adventure begins with a drive through the pine-cloaked countryside, towards sleepy villages and secluded bays. Pass traditionally dressed locals riding on donkeys as you climb through the mountains and drive through some of the region's time-warp villages and a forest that's been restored after a devastating wildfire.Next, stop by Kızkumu beach, a secluded pebble beach in a sheltered cove, for a well-deserved dip in the sea. Finally, there's a stop in a forest to enjoy a dip in the natural plunge pool of a pretty waterfall. It's a photogenic spot, and offers a great chance to cool down in the summer months and muck around with a water fight.
