Dalaman Holidays

As you drive along the coast of Dalaman, it’s hard not to struck by the sheer beauty of this stretch of Turkey’s coastline. Not only is this charming small town steeped in rich ancient history, it’s also clear how the region earned the nickname the 'Turquoise Coast', with its perfectly clear waters, sweeping beaches and gorgeous views. Nestled between mountain peaks on one side and the sparkling Mediterranean sea on the other, the ancient port of Dalaman is a treasure trove for history buffs and beach bums alike. From the stunning Roman-style architecture to the fascinating archaeological sites that are dotted around the region, there is no shortage of things to do on a Dalaman holiday. If you can peel yourself away from your favourite beach club or deliciously fresh seafood restaurant, the Blue Lagoon in Oludeniz is a must-visit; a world-famous natural cove, known for its turquoise waters, white sand and stunning views. Oludeniz is a great place for a gentle swim, windsurf or just a relaxing sunbathing session, while real adventure seekers can take to the skies for a parasailing experience.
