What to expect
It's only a short trip inland from Sarıgerme to the Secret Valley, but it feels like a world away. This small group tour will see you boating through the valley's stunning canyons and enjoying a swim on a lake from a secluded beach.
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 by a sheltered cove on the edge of the lake. Soak up some sunshine and cool off with a swim to work up an appetite for a typical local lunch. In the afternoon, you'll have another hour to sunbathe on the beach or take a dip in the lake before hopping back on the boat to glide back to the harbour.

Dalyan Discovery Boat Tour with Turtle Beach and Lunch
Wind through the wildlife-rich Dalyan wetlands on a river cruise, pamper your skin at the mud baths and relax on a secluded beach – this is the ultimate Dalyan tour. What's more, you'll pass by ancient rock-hewn tombs and enjoy a riverside lunch, too. Ceren, one of our local guides, says, ‘Turtle Beach is named after the endangered loggerhead turtles that nest here. It's actually called Iztuzu beach, and it's a great example of the local commitment to conservation. In the 1980s, new resorts were planned, but instead it has been kept in its natural state, preserving the turtles' nesting sites.'First on the to-do list is a visit to the anti-ageing mud baths and soothing sulphur pool. Cake on the mud and let it dry in the sun before washing it off to reveal the softening effects. Local legend states that Cleopatra visited these baths to maintain her beauty. Next, it's time to savour a typical lunch at a riverside restaurant, then you'll rejoin the riverboat and glide past cliffs where you can spot ancient Lycian rock tombs dating to 400BC.As you cruise downriver to Iztuzu beach, look out for the abundant bird life that flocks to the area. The river and unblemished, lagoon-backed sandbar beach remain as nature intended, so there's plenty of wildlife to spot. At the beach you'll have free time for swimming, sunbathing or, with a bit of luck, you might even spot a turtle or two. Round off your day with the return river cruise to Dalyan.

You'll explore the Dalyan Delta, starting with Iztuzu Beach and a look around Dalyan old town, followed by a barbecue dinner and an evening boat trip. Elif, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Lycian Rock Tombs are elaborate burial chambers that were carved into the cliffs over two millennia ago by the Lycians to honour members of the ruling class. They are dramatically lit in the evening – it's a really atmospheric experience.'First up, while the sun's still warm, you'll visit a turtle rescue centre, then enjoy some free time at peaceful Iztuzu Beach, where loggerhead turtles come to nest every year. Then you'll explore Dalyan's historic town centre under the twinkle of dusk.

Tour of Oludeniz Beach, Babadag Cable Car and Ghost Town Kayakoy
The area around Fethiye is packed with intriguing sites and areas of outstanding natural beauty. On this full day tour, you'll visit the eerie ghost town of Kayakoy, ride the Babadag cable car and have time to relax and swim at Oludeniz's famous Blue Lagoon. Elif, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘From the top of Mount Babadag, you can see a beautiful stretch of the Turquoise Coast, including the curving beach and lagoon at Oludeniz, which you've just visited. Watch the paragliders gliding down to land near the beach.'You'll start the morning heading straight to Oludeniz. It's a small resort best known for the two-kilometre-long curl of beach that shelters the Blue Lagoon. Basking on the warm sand, your toughest decision is whether to paddle in the bay or the calmer, shallower lagoon. Next, you'll ride the Babadag cable car for stunning views from the mountaintop. You'll have time to get something to eat at the top, after which you'll head back down to Kayakoy, one of the best-preserved ghost villages in Turkey.Wander silent streets that bristled with life before the population abandoned them over a century ago. Peek into the tiers of roofless houses, see the little school, and visit the basilica – still decorated with old frescos and mosaics. Elif says, ‘There are close to 1,000 deserted stone houses in Kayakoy, as well as churches and chapels, even a bakery. The Greek villagers who lived here – and called it Leivissi – were forced to flee after WWI, and no one replaced them.'
