This trip brings you from Bodrum by road and then onto the water: a river boat carries the group through the channel, and you walk among the ruins of Kaunos, an ancient harbour city whose theatre still sits on the hillside above the old shoreline. The reference programme runs on Thursdays and Sundays from about 06:30 to 19:00, because Dalyan is a long drive east of the Bodrum peninsula. Besides Kaunos, the day includes the mud baths, where guests cover themselves in warm mud, let it dry and then rinse in a sulphur pool. An open buffet lunch is served during the day, and a licensed guide explains the history. Hotel transfers, the river boat trip, the licensed guide, entrance fees for Kaunos and the mud baths, and the buffet lunch are included. Breakfast and drinks are extra, so plan to eat something before the early pickup or buy breakfast on the way. Bring swimwear and an old towel for the mud baths, a hat and comfortable shoes for the uneven paths at Kaunos. ## Tour highlights - River boat through Dalyan’s reeds - Ancient Kaunos and its hillside theatre - Mud baths and buffet lunch included ## Tour details ### Route and stops 1.
