| Rafting
If you can swim,
(not so necessary actually!) and if your heart is strong
enough, if you are not pregnant, and if you don't have
asthma, join a White Water Rafting tour on Dalaman River
which is only 90 minutes to Marmaris. Don't miss this tour,
if you want to fight with the strong bubbles, paddling down
the river,and if you don't mind getting wet. The distance is 12 km and
the lunch is given on the shore, nearly midway. If you are
brave enough, you must choose the inflatable kayaks for two,
and if you are not, you'll travel on a big raft with a
guide. The tour is completely safe, No one injured. Don't forget to smile to the cameras on the hardest
rapids with the helmets, life jackets, and the paddles in
your hands.
Dalaman River situated within Mugla
province borders amongst Köycegiz and Dalaman is offering
you R2 (difficulty rate : 3+) and R3 (difficulty rate :
3-4+) level course services. The river increases the
adrenaline of the participants to the rafting activity
through its rapid and exciting course track.
Dalaman Upper River, which courses through a scenic gorge,
is laced with Class I-III rapids that offer easy to moderate
summer whitewater -- but still plenty of excitement -- for
kids as young as 6. On a hot summer day, join the rafting
team to cool down in the waters of fast mountain river near
Dalaman. The rafting routes are specially designed for the
different levels of rafting experience or none at all. You
can be rafting by yourself or together with your friends in
the larger boats. Usually there is a break for lunch since
the trip program is for all afternoon. |

| Dalyan - Turtle Beach
Dalyan
is a small farming and fishing town built opposite the
ancient Caunos, on the east bank of the river. Dalya means a
"fishing net" which proves how important fishing is in the
region. Basses and the grey mullets swim into Koycegiz lake
to lay eggs. They get caught on their way back to the sea by
using tightened fish net between two banks of the river.
Near the ancient Caunos there is a small fishing factory.
Fishing in Dalyan is managed and controlled by a
cooperative.
Koycegiz lake located 3 miles away, which flows into Dalyan
river running to delta 6 km further. A labyrinth consisting
of small streams, flows over 1 m high rush wall and reaches
the lagoon. A very narrow, long sandy shore splits the
lagoon and the sea.
Beautiful 6 km long Turtle beach, with the sea on one side
and a lake on the other, is the breeding ground of the
near-extinct Caretta-Caretta turtles. The historical harbour
city of Caunos is famous for its tombs stands near the
beach. Caunos used to be one of the most important towns of
the antique era. According to Herodot, Caunos people were
neither Karians nor Lykians, but the inhabitants of this
region. The city appeared in history about 500 B.C. and was
conquered by Persians with their leader Harpagos. |

Pamukkale
Pamukkale is known as 8th wonder of the world by Turkish
people, The water (35 C) which is flowing down the cliff of
Pamukkale has turned the area into as white as cotton color,
and carved this fantastic formation of stalactites and
basins. It is the largest and finest example of elaborate
calcium formation, which dominates the landscape miles
around.
Calcium salts are deposited on the hillside and harden to
form saucer-shaped and dazzling white pools of varying
dimensions. According to ancient tradition, the waters
within are said to be advantageous in treating maladies and
attract people from all over the world. The calceous waters
rise from the ground at a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius.
In this wonderland is an abundance of hot springs which are
recommended for the treatment of heart diseases, circulatory
problems, high blood pressure, nervous disorders,
rheumatism, eye and skin diseases, nervous and physical
exhaustion, digestive maladies and nutritional disorders. |
