Turkish food is heavily reliant on the seasonal local produce with the emphasis on fresh. Traditional meals will often include a selection of mezze – appetisers including savoury pastries, dips, breads, vine leaves and aubergines. Fresh meats and

fishes are served as kebabs,lean and healthy these kebabs are unlike any others. Fresh fruits are often served as desserts although for the more sweet toothed the Turkish pastry desserts are heavy on honey and sugars.

The Riverside restaurant in Dalyan serves the best catch of the day, stuffed and lightly grilled, the atmosphere on the terrace with it’s breeze only adds to the quality of the food. Highly regarded by travellers and locals alike this fish restaurant is well worth visiting.

For something a little different eat at the Turku café in Dalaman, combining the best of traditional Turkish cuisine with eastern music and belly dancing makes this a meal to relish.

Make sure you visit Dalyan and take one of the famed mud baths, smother yourself in warm sticky mud, allow it to dry in the sun and then wash it off in the hot waters of the sulphurous pools. Always busy and exciting this trip may not make you look the ten years younger that it promises but you’ll have great fun trying.

Soak up the history of the Dalaman region by taking a trip the the ghost town of Kaya with it’s fascinating history. In 1923 the Greek and the Turkish governments agreed that the villagers would return to Greece and that the Turks would return to Kaya and inhabit these houses. The villagers left but the Turkish people did not return. Although many are now derelict the town is still in a state of limbo and it’s haunting peace and beauty shouldn’t be missed.

Paraglide off the cliffs above Olu Deniz – not for the faint hearted, those that brave this experience are rewarded with perhaps the most exhilarating exciting heart stopping moment of their lives. Floating down to earth in the warm air has to be the ultimate way to view the beauty of the region.

Hot dry summers are guaranteed and with the winter season of December to March remaining warm any time is a good time to visit Dalaman.

For a more vibrant holiday, travel is recommended during the popular summer months. For those seeking pleasant warm weather and a more relaxed feel then the autumn months are perfect.
