Summary:
Fantastic day out, picked up 9am from our hotel, the tour guide Kerim was informative and funny. First stop mud baths and thermal pool followed by the boat tour to lunch then turtle beach. The boat tour was a beautiful experience, even managed to spot a kingfisher. Lunch was lovely in the gorgeous harbour of Dalyan. Turtle beach is a lovely beach with lovely proper sand and the sea was lovely and warm to swim in, it’s shallow to far out so had a great time in the water with the kids. Got to see the turtles before getting back on the boat. All in all a great day out for the whole family and I would recommend this trip
