Drive to Marmaris with visits to Patara, Xanthos and
with cruise in the Dalyan Delta. The real highlight in
Dalyan is to take a small craft through a maze of
reeds in the Dalyan Delta. The delta, with a long,
golden sandy beach at its mouth, is a nature-conversation
area, and a refuge for large sea turtles (caretta
caretta) and blue crabs. A stop will be made at Kaunos
which was an important city and port on the
Mediterranean from 400 B.C. until the harbour silted
up and the sea retreated 5km to the south. Drive on to
Marmaris for the hotel or port to embark your boat
