Dalyan & Kas
From the quayside of pretty Dalyan, we meander by riverboat through reedbeds rich in birdlife, and then pause to explore the dramatic ruins of ancient Caunus with its rock-cut tombs (400 BC) before reaching Iztuzu Beach - a great place for swimming away from the crowds. We then move onto Kas and stay at a conveniently located hotel for a number of nights. Kas is a great place to relax with restaurants, bars and low-key cafes spilling out onto cobbled streets. We travel by local boat across to the other side of the bay to spend the day at Limanagzi Beach which is a sheltered bay not far from the hotel.

Sunken City & Ancient Ruins
Using Kas as a base, we journey by boat to the underwater and partially submerged ruins of Kekova Island before returning to spend the afternoon at our hotel. We travel to Oludeniz the following day, visiting the ruins at Xanthos on the way and one of the most important archaeological sites in the region. Continuing on, we stop at the village of Minare where we have a lunch in a village house before continuing to Oludeniz where we stay for the remaining part of our holiday.

Deserted Towns
Travelling to Kayakoy, we discover a deserted settlement which was finally abandoned by its Greek inhabitants in 1923 when they were dispelled from the lands of the newly
declared Turkish Republic. Covering a fairly extensive area, this ghost town of some 2,000 houses presents an emotive setting. We return to the hotel to relax in the afternoon or
alternatively there is the option to walk across the forested hillside close to the town with tremendous views of the Oludeniz lagoon, beautifully set against the backdrop of wild mountains and dense forest.
