Our original Blue Cruise and still as popular as ever. The central Lycian coast is probably the nicest Blue Cruise area to be discovered in Turkey.

During the river trip linking the town of Dalyan with the Iztuzu lagoon, you see the splendid rock tombs carved into the hills, the powerful remnants of Lycian civilization. Passing by the reed-beds that look like a maze, you reach a sand peninsula between a lake and the sea. On the north of the lake, there is the touristical town, Köycegiz.
