Dalaman is the gateway to the Turquoise Coast, which stretches east to Antalya
and west to Marmaris, along Turkey's southwestern Mediterranean coast
The majestic Taurus Mountains form a dramatic backdrop to the region, often plunging steeply into the sea, and the coastline is scattered with fine sandy beaches and classical ruins.
Southeast of Dalaman is arguably Turkey’s most famous beach, Olu Deniz, regarded as one of the most beautiful lagoons in the Mediterranean. Backed by sweet-smelling pine trees, 3km of soft white sands melt away into a lagoon of deepest sapphire by way of tantalising turquoise, enticing jade and electric aquamarine. Translated, Olu Deniz means " dead sea ", referring to the calmness and serenity of the water, making it ideal for canoeing and kayaking. |
