TLOS,
SAKLIKENT GORGE & YAKAPARK
Travel through picturesque rural Turkey to explore the
Lycian, Byzantine and Ottoman ruins at the ancient city of Tlos,
supposed home of Pegasus the winged horse. Enjoy a delicious lunch
of grilled trout, mezes and salads in the open air of leafy Yakapark
trout farm. See the art of carpet and kilim making at a traditional
carpet factory. Then discover hidden Saklikent Canyon, with its
waterfalls and icy torrents of water to freshen you up before returning
to Fethiye. Includes lunch, transport and guide.
 DALYAN,
KAUNOS & TURTLE BEACH
A short journey by air-conditioned bus takes you to the
fishing harbour of Dalyan to start a boat trip down the meandering
Dalyan river delta (where the African Queen was filmed) to the golden
sands of Istuzu Beach. En route, you'll pass the amazing millennia
old rock tombs hewn into the sheer cliff face hundreds of feet up,
and the ruins of Kaunos Lycian city. A stop at the sulphurous mud
baths will (they say) 'take ten years off you' if you wallow for
long enough, before you go back out in the sunshine for a lazy afternoon
on Turtle Beach.
PARAGLIDING
The Ölüdeniz area is renowned for the sport of paragliding
- flying from the top of Babadag mountain down onto Ölüdeniz Beach,
in tandem with highly qualified pilots. Passengers are briefed and
issued with protective clothing, and comprehensive insurance is
included. Don't forget your camera for the chance to get unrivalled
photos of the beautiful coastline.
 SCUBA
DIVING
The crystal clear waters off the Turquoise Coast offer
outstanding diving opportunities: numerous species of marine life
and caverns, ruins and wrecks await beginners and experts alike.
A range of CMAS and PADI courses are available, from basic to advanced
level, from one-day dive tours to week-long courses, and non-diving
guests are welcome to join for a relaxing day on the boat.
RAFTING, KAYAKING & CANOEING
13km river kayak or raft ride to Patara Beach through
the remote valleys and canyons of the Dalaman River. Suitable for
swimmers from age 12 upwards, the rafting trip passes through exhilarating
grade 4-5 rapids, whilst the kayaking trip passes through calmer
waters with occasional white water. For those less adventurous,
or family groups, canoeing on gentler waters is also great fun.
Barbeque lunch by the riverside is included.
 JEEP
SAFARI
Drive off the beaten track in jeep convoy to discover
ancient cultures, village life and beautiful countryside. Explore
the ruins of the ancient city of Tlos, then see the art of carpet
and kilim making at a traditional factory before exploring the icy
waterfalls and streams of hidden Saklikent Canyon. After lunch in
the open air, and en route to the beautiful classical ruins at Xanthos,
the mud baths and icy rushing waters of the Xanthos River will give
you a chance to cool off before relaxing on the white sands of 18km
long Patara Beach. Join as a driver or non-driver, and be prepared
to return a little tired and dusty, but thoroughly exhilarated,
after the 180km round trip.
TRUCK SAFARI
Join us as part of a small group travelling off the beaten
track through picturesque countryside in an open air truck. The
pretty village of Üzümlü, with its Ottoman style houses, local crafts
and friendly locals is the first stop, before visiting the nearby
Lycian and Roman ruins of Cadianda. Lunch is in the open air by
the rushing waters of the river at Alacin, before a walk and perhaps
a swim or nap by the riverside.
RHODES
The Greek island of Rhodes is but a short hydrofoil trip
away from Marmaris. On one-day tours, you'll arrive in Rhodes in
time for a stroll around the Old Town, a spot of shopping and a
leisurely lunch before returning to Turkey for early evening. One
way and open return tickets can also be arranged.

PAMUKKALE (1 day)
Don't miss the chance to see one of the wonders of the
Natural World - the magnificent Pamukkale (literally 'Cotton Castle')
which has been formed over thousands of years by thermal spring
waters pouring down the mountainside and calcifying to form cascading
terraces of glittering white basins of water. Due to the healing
properties of the water, the Romans founded Hieropalis nearby as
a spa centre, and today, the baths, theatre and graveyard of over
1200 sarcophagi can still be seen. Includes lunch, transport and
guide.
EPHESUS & PAMUKKALE (2 days/1 night)
Ephesus was one of the most prominent cities of the ancient
world, a major centre of early Christianity. It is believed that
St Paul spent time here, as did the Virgin Mary, whose house is
nearby. The remains of the great city are still impressive - the
Library of Celsus, the site of the Temples of Artemis (now held
in the British Museum) and Hadrian, Roman baths and stadiums, are
among the best preserved classical ruins in existence. Day Two of
the trip includes a visit to Pamukkale and the ruins at Hieropalis.
Overnight in 4* hotel, half-board accommodation, entrance fees and
guide services included.

named Cold Water Bay. Includes transfers and lunch on board.

Turkish style by an exotic belly dancer and colourful folk dancers.
