Brief Guide to Turkey
Turkey is a country with a lot to offer: tranquil sandy beaches, an impossibly turquoise sea, an unrivalled reputation for hospitality, a cuisine to die for and a vast array of delightful scenery with a host of animals, birds and greenery dotted with spectacular mosques and castles.
There are an enormous variety of things to see and do ranging from water sports to mountain trekking, archaeology to night clubbing and river rafting to raki drinking. Whether you leave Turkey with magnificent carpets, amulets to ward off evil, belly dancing tips, an appreciation of its history, or just a tan, you will want to go back for more and more.

The region, bathed in sunshine for 300 days of the year, is a paradise of sunbathing, swimming, and sporting activities like windsurfing, water-skiing, sailing, mountain climbing and caving. If you come to Antalya in March and April, you can ski in the mornings and in the afternoons swim in the warm waters of the Mediterranean. Important historical sites and beautiful mosques await your discovery, amid a landscape of pine forests, olive and citrus groves and palm, avocado and banana plantations.

About Dalaman
Dalaman is typically a residential area conveniently located near to the airport. Often people bypass the region without realising the beautiful surrounding areas such as Dalyan / Koycegiz and Sarigerme with its stunning sandy beach just minutes away. A new golf course is due to be built in this area and will bring trade to the region; we are predicting this part to be flourishing in activity in a few years time.

First stop is the mud bath which is said to be very therapeutic for your skin because of the minerals and the elements it contains such as Calcium, Magnesium and Sulphur.

After a 30 minutes boat trip among the plants, birds and the turtles, this beach is one of the rare beaches in the world where the Marine Turtles come and nest.
About Fethiye

This area is now very popular with the English, in particular the urban area of Hisaronu partly because it's a working town and is open all year round.
