Are you travelling to Dalaman and the Mugla Province? In this video I’m sharing the 10 best things to do in Turkey’s Turquoise Coast! This underrated area has so many UNBELIEVABLE sites to see, beaches to visit, culture to soak up, activities to do, and fabulous foods to enjoy!
Please note I did not include geographical distances between each recommendation, so I suggest doing further personal research for transport methods and tours wherever you plan to stay. I was based in Dalaman for the majority of my stay before moving to Marmaris, so I have titled this video accordingly, but please note that these day excursions will require a car ride or bus journey depending where you are based, as there is a significant distance between each recommendation. That said, every place mentioned in this video can be reached from Olüdeniz, Fethiye, Göcek, Marmaris, Dalyan, Selimiye and other areas in the region even if you're not based in Dalaman during your holiday, and there are PLENTY of tour operators to accommodate you!
I hope this travel guide on some of the best things to see and do in Dalaman and Mugla, Turkey in one week are helpful! If they are, please do hit that LIKE and subscribe as it really helps the channel grow. As always - drop me a comment if you have questions! Time stamps are below :)👇

Gorgeous! But please include the travel distance bc for example Fethiye is about two hours from Dalaman and the beach is another forty five minutes from the bus terminal. Much appreciated. I’d like to see more of Dalaman unless it’s not worth seeing.

@melissalegarda Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your feedback Patricia! I’ve included travel distance on my other videos, but didn’t include travel times in this instance because I didn’t want to assume where people might be staying as the Mugla region is vast. Appreciate your comment!

Hey, we are leaving for Turkey at the beginning of June, would you say it would be good for us to go? Are there any other good places in Turkey you would recommend for the first time going there? Great video! Your voice is so relaxing :)

@melissalegarda 2 жыл бұрын

Hey! Thank you so much for the compliment :) Beginning of June sounds perfect, it'll be blazing hot and it's just the start of summer season so it won't be super busy with crowds like it is during July and August. If you're planning to spend a while in Turkey then I'd recommend a couple of days in former capital Istanbul, which is full of culture and history and gorgeous architecture, and then Cappadocia, which is like a fairytale city (known for its hot air balloons). Those are a super different vibe to Dalaman and the Mugla region though - so it depends what sort of holiday you're after!

Is april a good time to visit dalaman?

@melissalegarda 2 жыл бұрын

Apparently April is still considered spring, so crowds will be lower but the weather may be a bit chilly with average highs of 19°C (66°F). You might see some rain, including potential thunderstorms. But the later you go in April the likelier you are to have hotter weather and escape the summer crowds so that’s always a plus :)

Good Video in General but please talk more sensitive about historic events The ghost village mentioned became such after greeks became independent from Turks. After that the new built greek goverment signed a treaty to exchange the populations in Turkey. Not cause of the will to "depopulate the Christians" like you mentioned.
