Visited yesterday with 2 adults, 2 Children (11,10). It was a fun experience. Some reviews i read mentioned not having a lot of time at the mud baths but i thought it was about right. The only thing I didn’t consider was the 1/2 day thing… we got back about 14:30 so for me that’s most of the day! Bring a snack!
Rumour has it Cleopatra used to be a regular at the Dalyan mud baths. On this half-day trip, you'll venture off to Ortaca market for some free time to poke around this open-air bazaar, before getting down and dirty in the natural mud pools and hot springs in Dalyan.
You'll start the day with a trip to the local Ortaca market for some typical Turkish shopping. Haggle your way through spice-scented stalls as you munch on fresh fruit, mingle with the locals or find an eye-catching trinket to take home.
Then, it's off to the mud baths of Dalyan – these pools of mud are famous for their healing properties. Perfect for families and younger children due to the shallow pools, you'll have some time to revitalise your skin and have fun in the mud. After showering off, you can even have a dip in the natural hot springs, where temperatures can hit 39°C.
