The nearest town (Dalaman) is just 20 minutes by car or shuttle bus and the nearest beaches with several kilometres of unspoiled Mediterranean sand are just 30 minutes away.
The delightful yachting centre of Gocek is only 20 minutes away, through a new tunnel. The attractive town of Dalyan is only 30 minutes in the other direction, located on an attractive river, with views of ancient tombs cut out of the rocky outcrop.
A short boat ride down river through the reed beds leads to the 10 km stretch of Iztuzu Beach (or Turtle Beach as it is otherwise known as this is the protected breeding ground of the Caretta Caretta Turtles).
After dark the beach is off limits. The reed beds offer great opportunities for bird watching and there are mud baths for those wanting to experience something different.
Fishing, horse riding, white water rafting and jeep safaris can all be arranged as required. There are many interesting archaeological sites to be visited within a days drive.
