Dalaman is an area of natural beauty, located between the sea and the mountains and benefiting from its proximity to many areas of interest both historical and geographic.
The town is ideally situated close to many resort areas such as Dalyan, Gocek, Sarigerme. Unlike Fethiye and other vibrant holiday resorts Dalaman is still very much a quiet region with unspoilt beaches, ancient ruins and parks. The Akkaya Valley is a year-round holiday community in the most beautiful surroundings, with villas scattered widely across a mountainside, amongst pine trees, olive groves and meadows, overlooking an emerald green lake.
Akkaya is Mediterranean Turkey at its most secluded and unspoilt, yet it is just 20 minutes from Dalaman international airport, which is now served by Easy Jet and year-round charter flights from the UK. It is also close to the new golf course at Sarigerme and excellent beaches, including the turtle beach at Iztuzu, while the marinas of Gocek are only 15 minutes away. The surrounding mountains are perfect for exploring on foot; and the area's trails are ideal from mountain biking. There is fishing on the Akkaya lake or white water rafting further upstream on the Dalaman river.
