The bustling port of  G�cek. The untouched  rural mountain villages  above G�cek � with  superb walking. The  nature reserves,  historic ruins and  fabulous beaches of the  Dalyan Delta. All  provide a taste of the  uniqueness of Turkey.

Mountains, sea, islands  and beaches.

The journey from Dalaman  airport to the Gulf of  G�cek and Fethiye is one  of which we will never  tire. Coming through the  tunnel the road climbs  into the mountains  before revealing the  most breathtaking views.  The forest-clad mountain  range reaches as far as  the eye can see,  providing the dramatic  backdrop to the plains,  coastal towns, villages  and beaches that are  scattered throughout the  region.

This region is the heart  of ancient Lycia and  host to a number of  historic sites amongst  which Kadyanda, Kaunos,  Tlos, Pinara, Letoon,  Xanthos and Patara are  particularly noteworthy.  The Gulf is also rich in  scenic opportunity with  plenty to explore �  including the stunning  beaches of the Fethiye  Peninsula, the market  town of Fethiye itself,  the fascinating ruins of  the old Greek settlement  at Kayak�y, and the  remarkable Dalyan Delta  together with the  mountain ranges  themselves.Wonderful  experiences can be had  by simply meandering  along the myriad of  mountain roads, heading  nowhere in particular,  just soaking in the  astounding scenery and  happening across  villages where time  appears to have stood  still.

Dramatic mountains,  stunning beaches,  cosmopolitan ports,  rustic villages and the  wonderful islands of the  gulf all combine to  provide a snapshot of  the diversity that makes  Turkey and in particular  the Lycian Coast so  special.
