Dalaman is the name given to both the town and the district in which it is located, on the southwest coast of Turkey. With temperatures capable of reaching almost 5 degrees Celsius in the month of July, visitors can expect a hot, dry climate when they land in this part of the country.
Dalaman Airport acts as the main gateway for tourists arriving to this part of Turkey. Hire a car from Dalaman once you''ve landed and you're free to head off on the D4 coastal road towards your resort. The town boasts various special resorts attracting visitors to its beautifully clear blue waters.
Upon arrival in Dalaman, those in search of relaxation or fun and games should head straight for the beach. Sarigerme Beach is about three miles south of town, far enough away to act as a destination in its own right. Hire a car from Dalaman and make the trip down there to avoid a long walk in the heat.
If you're looking for some time out, head out on the D400 to Dalyan, where you can visit the sulphur-rich mudbaths. They''ve become more and more popular in recent times, with tourists travelling from far and wide to plunge themselves into these pools, hoping to prosper from their therapeutic properties.
