12 Islands Boat Trip from Dalyan
Dalyan sits on a river, and rivers are green. If you want the postcard turquoise — deep clear water, pine down to the shore, anchoring off an empty bay — that is Fethiye Gulf, an hour up the road. We run it as a day out with transfer both ways.

Questions people actually ask
Is the sea rough?
Usually calm inside the gulf, but it is real sea. If anyone in the group gets seasick easily, the Dalyan river trip is the flat-water option.
Why not just go from Fethiye ourselves?
You can. The transfer exists because the boats leave early, and getting there by dolmuş with beach bags and children is a worse start to the day than a minibus at the door.
