Although I do not have the opportunity to visit here, our historical values, I can see them during the boat tour in the Dalyan River. They are eye-catching rock tombs that are said to be 2400 years old on the slopes of the ancient city of Kaunos overlooking the river.

Came here in August 2019 what a great place, we started doing the mud assault course which is quite hard but fun, there were 6 of us ranging from 6 to 65 and all completed it. At each obstacle there was always a way out if you thought you couldn’t manage it. We then went into the natural pool to clean off and swim, then onto the mud bath. We had lunch at the Mongolian bbq which was really good food which comprised of chicken and vegetables which you choose yourself and almost every spice you could think of, it was then cooked on the bbq for you, we ate our food at the side of the lake watching the small turtles. I agree with some comments that the paths a quite uneven but it is natural and not a concrete jungle. It’s on our list for 2020 to do it again. There’s also a small cafe selling alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and ice cream. Great day and friendly staff.
