Dalaman

As of 2006, Dalaman Airport became an international airport, with domestic flights from cities such as Ankara and Istanbul. The town of Dalaman is located 10-15 minutes drive away.

In recent years, the area has become recognised as a key one for property investors, with prices starting from around £55,000 for a two-bed apartment.

The Dalaman Valley is very fertile and every season offers you an abundance of fruit and vegetables. Since there are always plenty of vegetables, local vegetable dishes are rich and widely consumed. Some of the green plants not even known in big cities, such beetroot, mustard, mallow, nettle, clayey, patience, purslane and yellow herb, are turned into delicious meals in the hands of local women. You can sample some of these in Dalaman’s restaurants.

The shores of Dalaman are on the route of the Blue Cruise. On the Blue Cruise route the boats go to the coves of Sarsala, Büngüs, Siralibük, Kursunlu and Tasyaka (Bedri Rahmi) on the Kapidag Peninsula. All these coves are of extraordinary beauty.
