Storytelling down the Dalyan River, complete with mud bath and turtles - Such a brilliant and very full day! We travelled the Dalyan river, took a mud bath and a soak in the hot springs, meandered through spectacular landscapes to see the ancient cliff tombs. We sailed to Turtle Beach where a huge mama loggerhead turtle obligingly swam around our boat. Finally we were able to swim on the seaward side of the sand spit in warm shallow water. Our guide, Mehmet, is a natural storyteller and comic as well as being hugely knowledgeable. We learned and laughed a LOT. The whole experience was both fascinating and fun. The five stars are for the boat trip and for Mehmet. Sadly the inclusive lunch was two star at best. You would be better off eating the delicious blue crab dinner provided for the turtles.

Mud mud, glorius mud. - Mud bath and sulpher pool brilliant. Turtle beach well worth the visit. Make sure you get blue crab to throw into the mooring area to entice turtles to appear.

A great day with a blend of fun and relaxation - A great day with a blend of fun and relaxation. our tour guide was very informative, friendly and she had a lot of knowledge about the area and all aspects of the day. The mud bath was a lot of fun but also fascinating because of its Roman history, the river journey was relaxing and in a beautiful landscape. Turtle Beach has to be one of the best beaches for swimming in the whole area and the journey back on the boat was also super relaxing. Be sure to try the pomegranate juice that is available on the boat.

Guides perfect, Boat trip very nice, Bus annoying - First a great thank you to the tour guides Sevgi an Olga! They made a perfect job! The Boat trip was both interesting as well as relaxing! Food was a bit cold but fresh and more than enough! But the very long bus trip was despite the hood driver extremely annoying, took 2 1/2 hours in the morning and as long or more in the evening traffic...

This trip was not worth... - This trip was not worth the money. Due to winds, the boat was not able to take us to the thermal and mud baths. Instead, it took us to a closer one which was subpar, at best. The lunch was mediocre and we were taken to turtle beach and left, with nothing to do because the winds were so strong, for 1 1/2 hours and then froze on the way home. If the weather was good this trip would have been a 6/10 but because of the changes and the wind it was a 2/10.
