Köyceğiz
Köyceğiz has a slower pace of life compared to its more famous neighbors, centered around the calm waters of Lake Köyceğiz. A popular activity is taking a boat across the lake to the Sultaniye Thermals, where visitors can soak in healing mud baths and hot sulfur springs. The lake is connected to the sea via the Dalyan Delta, allowing for scenic boat trips past the ancient Carian city of Kaunos and its iconic rock tombs. The town itself is welcoming, with a lovely promenade, animated weekly markets, and streets lined with orange and lemon trees. Wildlife is abundant here, including various bird species and the protected loggerhead sea turtles near the coast. The local cuisine highlights organic produce and fresh fish from the lake and sea. Köyceğiz is about an hour's drive from Marmaris or Dalaman Airport. The best time to visit is from April to June or September to October.
