Dalaman Area things to do
Oludeniz Blue Lagoon
Nothing epitomises the Turquoise Coast quite like Oludeniz and its Blue Lagoon. Take a slow walk across a sweeping crescent of sands where the most striking and colourful waters lap the shores. With dark blue, emerald and turquoise layers, this natural lagoon is incredibly photogenic, and a wonderful place to relax and snorkel.
Scuba Diving
The Dalaman region offers some of the best diving in the Mediterranean. The waters are home to colourful reefs, and marine life like turtles, rays, and barracudas. Even better, you'll find eerie shipwrecks, limestone caves and the remains of ancient civilisations. Dive Aladdin's Cavern at Fethiye and experience this magical underwater treasure trove, decorated with anemones and coral.

Accessed by boat from the breathtaking sands of Belcegiz Beach, Butterfly Valley is one of the most picturesque places in Turkey. Home to around 100 species of butterfly, like the Jersey Tiger, this area of natural beauty features a vibrant green canyon nestled between a rugged mountains and a picturesque beach. Hike in the mountains, and swim in the bay.
Ancient City of Kaunos
