What to expect

Destination: Relaxation. If your ideal day involves watching the scenery drift by while spending quality time with your loved ones, then this gulet yacht cruise fits the bill. Designed with families in mind, you'll spend the day at sea with no less than four swim stops, lunch, drinks and activities for the little ones included. Haluk, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Traditional wooden schooners called gulets have been used for fishing and sponging around the Mediterranean since ancient times. Nowadays, they've become a popular way to show holidaymakers around the bays of the Aegean coast.'

Sun, sea, swimming and fun are the order of the day on this family cruise. There's plenty of time for swimming and snorkelling, as your captain will drop anchor a minimum of four times in the hidden bays and sheltered coves along this dazzling coastline. And if you join us on a Monday, you'll be treated to some free time to explore the resort of Turunç.

When you've worked up an appetite, a freshly prepared lunch will be served up on deck by the crew, alongside water and soft drinks at no extra charge. For any other extras, there's a bar on board, too. While you're busy relaxing and soaking up the scenery, the kids won't get bored either – there'll be activities and games to keep them busy between swim stops. It's a memorable family day out with sun-splashed holiday vibes written all over it.

If you like the sound of riverside scenery and a pristine beach, then this tour ticks all the boxes. 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. It's home to a variety of shops, cafés, and historical sites, and known for the traditional Turkish architecture – look out for the intricately decorated Dalyan mosque –and friendly locals.After your free time in town, it's time for dinner. You'll tuck into a Turkish barbecue at a riverside restaurant where you can relax and enjoy the locally sourced, freshly prepared food. And to round off the evening, you'll enjoy a tranquil boat ride along the Dalyan River to see the famous Lycian tombs carved into the rock face. These tombs date back to the 4th century BC – so they're almost 2,500 years old – and show influences of Anatolian, Greek and Persian designs.

Dalyan Riverboat Tour with Lunch and Iztuzu Beach

Surrounding yourself with natural beauty on a river cruise from Dalyan is a great way to unwind. One of Turkey's most pristine beaches is the destination, with stops at mud baths and a riverside restaurant en route. Ceren, one of our local guides, says, ‘Iztuzu Beach is also known as Turtle Beach because endangered loggerhead turtles nest here. It's a magical spot with very little human interference. The beach was all set to be developed with new resorts in the 1980s, but luckily conservation was prioritised.'Sail down the Dalyan River on an eco-friendly boat – which doesn't harm marine life – and have fun smoothing on the anti-ageing clay at the mud baths. It's great for glowing skin, and it's believed that Cleopatra visited for a pampering soak in the mineral-rich liquid mud. Finish with a dip in the warm sulphur pool before gliding across the river for a freshly prepared lunch of local dishes. You'll then add a little history and culture to the mix, as you continue on the riverboat past Lycian Rock Tombs – dating back to 400BC – carved into the cliffs.As the river widens into a lagoon, you'll have the chance to spot birdlife before docking at Iztuzu Beach. This 4km-long sweep of golden sand divides the river from the sea, a natural oasis that's a true haven for wildlife. Sheltered by mountains, the beach shelves gently into a calm bay, where an afternoon of pure relaxation beckons. Round off your day with the return relaxing river cruise to Dalyan.
