Dalyan Ekincik Boat Tour

Ancient City of Kaunos

After our guests are picked up, we depart from Dalyan Port and take a 30-minute drive over the Dalyan River to M.D. We are reaching the Ancient City of Kaunos and the rock tombs dating back to 500 years.
During our break in the ancient City of Kaunos, our guests will have a 30-minute guidance service introducing them to the region, information will be given about the settlements built by Lycia and other kingdoms and empires in the region and the structure of rock tombs.

Ekincik Blue Cave

After our painting and guiding time in Kaunos is over, we will pass by Iztuzu Beach and start our journey over the Aegean Sea in the direction of Ekincik Blue Cave.
The trip can take about 30 minutes, during which we offer tea, coffee or other drinks while traveling with the clear blue waters of the Aegean Sea on your left side and the unique Dalyan and Ekincik nature views on your right side.

After reaching Ekincik blue cave, we approach a suitable area and give our guests 30 minutes to swim and explore this natural wonder.

Lunch and Swimming Break

When our time at Ekincik blue Cave is over, we will move to Semizce Bay and take a lunch and swimming break. Semizce bay is a completely quiet area due to its clear and calm sea and a first-degree protected area. There are no settlements here, it’s a perfect area for a lunch break with its hills completely covered with pine or oak trees. Fish (sea bream or sea bass) or beef dumplings, chicken can be served as a menu, and there are 6-8 seasonal appetizers.

A Half-Assed Swimming Break

After the eating and drinking hours of our guests, we take a break to swim and relax in a calmer bay located at the bottom of Semizce Bay. This area is relatively quieter and gets less sun around 2-3 in the afternoon, providing a cool environment.

Sail Rock

Sail rock got its name from 2 rocks that are shaped by tectonic movement 50 meters inland from the sea and resemble a sailboat when viewed. The water of the region is extremely suitable for calm swimming. Our guests who want to swim will have a rest break in the pine forests where they will leave all their fatigue behind with August bug sounds.

Magic Lake (Alagöl)

Between 14:00-14:30 local time, we start a 30-minute boat ride over the Aegean Sea to Alag Dec (Magic Lake), inland from Dalyan Iztuzu.
Iztuzu will stay on our left side on this trip and our guests can easily take pictures of the beach. This lake has a very special structure.
It is a lake where both sea water and its own clean water and hot spring water from the lake floor Jul.
The water of the lake has a structure that gives the feeling of using cream at a medium temperature so that the tiredness of the day is completely forgotten.
It is known to be especially good for skin and joint diseases and offers a bathroom comfort that guests will not want to leave.

Dalyan River and the Return Journey

After our visit to Alagol is over, the return journey from the Dalyan Canal to the port begins by boat at a slow speed.
On this trip, our guests can enjoy the view of the Dalyan river, known worldwide for its magnificent reeds, wide landscape area and calm pace, as well as the clear waters of the Dalyan River.
On this return trip, our guests can capture iconic picture frames and capture the amazing atmosphere created by the incoming and outgoing boats.
