Sarigerme is a small town located around 25 km from Dalyan.  Sarigerme has been chosen for Turkeys next golfing centre with the construction of new hotels and an 18-hole golf course underway.  The village also has a number of large international hotels including the Pegasus Palace and Pegasus Tropical.

Sarigerme is a beautiful place with a long, white sandy beach and first class hotels, it has a natural beauty from its untouched nature.  The whole area is a wash with nature, stalks are a common site from Sarigerme to Dalyan.

Not far from Sarıgerme you can find Aşı bay, once used as a loading bay and still used today on many of the Blue Cruise tours.  The bay is quiet and very natural in its surroundings and underwater the beauty is spectacular, a perfect spot for snorkeling.

Köyceğiz

At the top end of the Köyceğiz lake lies the town of the Köyceğiz, a traditional Turkish market town it is growing in popularity with foreign tourists and home buyers.  The Monday market is an enjoyable experience, wound around the small streets one quickly becomes lost in the atmosphere and range of goods on sale, from your weekly fruit and veg to teas and spices.

Attractions to this town are the lake itself and its beach, a nearby Palm garden and museum, waterfalls and nearby trout farms and restaurants.

Dalaman

Dalaman has grown in popularity over recent years with the opening of the Airport and is now set to benefit further with the current expansion of the airport and winter flights starting from the UK.

However more than just an airport Dalaman is a busy Turkish and tourist town in it own right, from rafting on the river to beautiful coves and spectacular scenery.

The rafting options are varied, downstream there are sections well suited to beginners and children and can be undertaken in boats or canoes.  For more adventurous and experienced rafters the river upstream offers fast currents and a wilder ride.

Göcek

Göcek is a most famous for its marinas and sailing than for beach holidays.  From here many of the tour companies offer a 12 Islands tour, a lazy day visiting some of the 12 Islands with swimming stops and usually a good lunch it is one of our favourite excursions.

Around the town and by the marinas it is a good idea to keep your eyes peeled, many celebrities choose Göcek for their holidays, from Demi Moore, to Bill Gates they've all been through the town.  As you watch the yachts you will marvel at the size and splendour of it all, then floating past will come a local fisherman in his little rowing boat.

Ortaca

Ortaca has become a thriving business and administration centre for the local towns in this area.  Here you can find many shops, a Friday Market and it has a busy bus station with links to all the towns in the area and to further a field.
