Details:
Day 1 – Bodrum – Arrival Day
You will be transferred from Bodrum airport or Bodrum bus station to your hotel. On arrival, we will check you into the hotel where your accommodation has been reserved for the night. You will be given your room key and the rest of the day is yours to enjoy and explore Bodrum.
Day 2 – Hamam Turkish Bath in Bodrum
Hamam, which is the word for the Turkish bath – surely, an unforgettable part of your holiday, and the massage is the best part. On the marble slab the guest will be soaked from head to toe, then expertly scrubbed losing all of your dead cells and dry skin, relax again and drift away as you are covered with soapy bubbles while the masseur straightens out all those knots and tense bits. All you have to do then is to wash your hair and put on loads of sun cream before emerging onto the day. The most refreshing experience is available.
Day 3 – Dalyan
Dalyan is a very popular small town not spoiled by buildings. The wonderful 7 kilometer sandy Iztuzu Beach, which is accessible by a 45 minutes boat trip, is one of the last nesting areas for the Caretta caretta, Sea Turtles. Between May and September, the female turtles come to the beach to lay their eggs, to keep a check on them from time to time, and finally to take their babies to the sea. Caunos, the ancient city near modern Dalyan, was founded around the 9th century BC. Once it was a Mediterranean city port, but over the centuries, the silt from the Dalyan River choked the harbor, and today the town lies several kilometers from the sea. Caunos is famous for its rock-cut tombs. These were graves for the kings and important people of the city. Since the Pagan people of the area believed in resurrection, they put lots of food, money, jewelry, and other valuable items in holes at the entrance of the tombs, but because of grave robbers, nothing is now left today.
