## Overview

A river boat day through the reeds of Dalyan, past Lycian rock tombs to ancient Kaunos and the protected turtle beach at İztuzu.

Dalyan's river winds through reed beds between Lake Köyceğiz and the sea. Your group boards a private wooden river boat and passes beneath the rock-cut tombs of ancient Kaunos, carved into the cliff more than 2,000 years ago.

A guide leads a walk through the ruins of Kaunos, with its theatre and harbour, before the boat continues to İztuzu beach, a protected nesting site for loggerhead turtles. There is time for a swim and a visit to a turtle rescue and research centre near the beach.

Lunch is served on board or at a riverside restaurant. On the way back, guests can stop at the mud baths and hot springs if they wish.
