The tombs are visible from Dalyan; entering the Kaunos archaeological site requires a separate stop. Compare how each proposed trip reaches Dalyan. A road transfer followed by a river boat and a longer excursion arriving by sea create very different days. Ask how much of the programme is transport and how much is beach time. Mud-bath stops, meals and site visits should be listed individually so that you can choose the pace you actually want. İztuzu is a sea-turtle nesting habitat. Stay clear of marked nests, follow the signs and observe turtles from a distance without feeding or touching them. Sightings depend on wildlife activity. ## Tour highlights - Dalyan’s river and reed-bed scenery - Views towards the Kaunos rock tombs - Time at İztuzu subject to the programme - A change of scenery beyond Marmaris Bay ## Tour details ### Route and stops 1. First establish whether the journey starts with a road transfer or a longer sea crossing. Compare the complete journey, including the change to the river boat. 2. On the river, the Kaunos rock tombs form part of the landscape. A photo stop facing them does not include walking around the Kaunos archaeological site. 3. Choose how to divide the remaining time between İztuzu, the river and optional stops. Ask for any mud-bath or rehabilitation-centre visit to be named separately. The route may change with weather and visitor restrictions. ### Access and comfort Suited to travellers who enjoy varied scenery and do not mind a substantial travel day. Tell the organiser if frequent boarding or exposed waiting areas would be difficult. ### Check before booking - Road/sea transport, river-boat changes and toilet stops. - Beach admission, optional activities and lunch charged separately or together. - The exact meeting point for the return boat and hotel transfer. ### Is the turtle rehabilitation centre automatically included? No. A beach visit, a river cruise and a visit to DEKAMER are separate activities. Request an explicit arrangement and check current visitor access; wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.

No. Wild turtles move freely and sightings cannot be guaranteed. Choose a trip for the river, beach and landscape; never ask for animals to be fed or handled for a photograph. ### Does a Dalyan trip include entering Kaunos? A view of the rock tombs is not the same as admission to the Kaunos archaeological site. Ask for an explicit site visit in the itinerary if that is a priority. ### Are mud baths part of every trip? No. Programmes differ. Confirm whether a mud-bath stop is planned, whether you can skip it and whether an additional entrance charge applies. ## Travel guides - [Marmaris with children](https://marmaristravels.com/guides/marmaris-with-children/) Beach days, short trips and practical checks for a family holiday. - [Marmaris in three days](https://marmaristravels.com/guides/three-days-in-marmaris/) A three-day itinerary covering the old town, a boat trip and a nearby coastal village. - [When to visit Marmaris](https://marmaristravels.com/guides/best-time-to-visit/) Compare the seasons for beach holidays, boat trips and sightseeing in Marmaris.
