Dalaman is one of the towns of the province of MuÄŸla that in recent years has begun to develope into a centre of tourism.

There is everything required for tourism here but it was with the opening of the Dalaman Airport that tourism in the town gained momentum.

In Dalaman, and especially on the Kapıdağ Peninsula, there are coves of extraordinary beauty, some of which can only be reached by sea. This is why these coves between Marmaris and Göcek are an ideal point for anchoring for the Blue Cruise boats. However, some of the coves, such as Sarsala, can be accessed by road

In 1993, the Göcek chromium mine facilities were converted into a marina and tourism complex at a cost of more than 110 million dollars. The mine waste was removed from the area and 120,000 square metres of forest land behind the site was rented. With the investment made by International Tourism (Enternasyonal Turizm) in the complex, the bed capacity of 500 will increase up to 1,000 beds in Göcek, with the most important part of the investment being $111 million for the marina. The marina is partly operational and can serve 400 yachts at a time after being in operation for just a few months. In the marina you also pull yachts ashore and a sailing school is soon to be set up. The area right next to the marina has been organised as a beach.

Within the tourism complex there is the 24-unit “Behind the Marina Facilities”. Among these facilities are the Swiss Gourmet, the Veranda Restaurant, North Shields bar, cafes, souvenir shops and yacht markets.

The ancient city of Tlos is 40 kilometres from Fethiye. After travelling for 22 kilometres on the Fethiye-Antalya road, take the road signposted as Tlos and Saklıkent and travel for another 10 kilometers.

The Tlos historical site is eight kilometres from Saklıkent and right next to the village of Yaka. The city is hidden behind an Ottoman castle and the ancient acropolis on the top of a hill. While climbing up to the castle the Lycian rock tombs will grab your attention. The most impressive is the Tomb of Bellerephon, with a fine bas-relief of Pegasus the winged horse fighting against the three-headed monster the Chimera. At the entrance of this tomb that attracts lots of attention there are columns and a three-section wall, in the middle there is a motif of a door carved which leads to the grave. In the flat area below the castle you find the remains of the Lycian walls nine metres thick, the agora (market) that still has six arched doors standing and to the south you have the Roman walls. The remains that are in best condition are the theatre’s. However, the Lycian rock tombs, baths, paleastra and gymnasium are also impressive. Tlos is one of the oldest settlements in the Lycian region. In the Lycian inscription the city name is written as Tlawa and in the Hittites writings from the 14th century BC the areas is referred to as Dlawa in the Lukka region.

One tip is to start your visit after having a very foamy ayran in the tea garden right next to the entrance of the historical site.

Since you have travelled to the village of Yaka, Yakapark just a kilometre from the village is worth visiting for a break. This is a stopping point for the jeep safaris from Kaş, Kalkan, and Fethiye and is wonderful with its century old trees, terraces, pool, water channels, hammocks and stone tables placed by the management. As the village women cook gözlemes, chickens and roosters pass your feet making the place interesting.

The meat gets cooked on the barbeque set up in the centre of the garden and trout dipped in corn flour is fried. Those in the tourism business have to be creative. Here you will see an example of that. There is the Balıklı Bar, which has an animation that you would see nowhere else other than Yakapark. The bar is made of stone and on one side of it there is a small channel where the cold water flows. Inside this channel swim trout, which act like they are used to human beings. They love being touched, caressed and they do not swim away. Meanwhile, the providing of beer, cola and ayran goes on.

One of the most striking places in the Fethiye region is Butterfly Valley. On the 8th of February 1995, the site was declared a first degree natural protected area and ant type of construction has been prohibited. The valley is rocky and pine covered and is a bit hard for climbing but it gives you an astonishing feeling to see millions of butterflies covering the trees and rocks like a soft colourful scarf. At first, you do not notice them at all and you think it is the natural look of the place. However, with one sound or movement the butterflies take off, covering the sky and casting a shadow over the valley.

By renting or using one of the shared boats that work like water taxis, you can go from Ölüdeniz to Butterfly Valley beach. This is also known as Kötürümsü Cove. In this half an hours trip you can also stop at the Mavi Mağara (the Blue Cave). You can give yourself to the green and blue waters of the cave. There are two paths that lead you to Butterfly Valley and to the foot of the 2,000 metres high Babadağ. One of them goes through a waterfall and the other through the village of Faralya.                If you have no trekking or natural sports experience you should not try to climb to the higher parts of the valley and just be satisfied by getting to the first water fall. Those with self confidence and who cannot turn away from the extraordinary call of the valley should continue the trip up and will come across the stunning view we will now describe.But wearing professional trekking clothes or shoes and carrying professional equipments is highly advised.

The path that leads up to the village is really steep and there are couple of points where you need to climb up in the path. Do not take this if you don’t have mountaineering experience. However, the view from the village is really wonderful. Follow the signpost that says, “George’s House,” and you might get very nice village food with your ayran.

There are no accommodation facilities at the Butterfly Valley beach. You can set up a tent or stay in makeshift bush and leaf covered shelters.

There is one restaurant set up on the beach in summertime. The owners will help you, showing the paths to follow.

Some of the cruising boats, after the stop at Şövalye Island, instead of heading in the direction of Göcek sail for Ölüdeniz, stopping at the coves and islands on the way. You pass by Şahin (Eagle) and İblis (Devil) Capes and then come to Gemile Island. Here,those who want can go to the beaches and coves of the island, before re-embarking and continuing to Ölüdeniz, Belceğiz Beach and Kıdırak Beach and then as far as Kelebekler Vadisi (The Butterfly Valley). The sea on this route can be a bit rougher than on the Göcek side and make some people feel a touch queasy.

Gemile Adası: Gemile Island is just opposite Gemile Cove and beach. The former name of the island was St. Nicholas. On the island there are the remains of churches dated to the Early Christian era and the Byzantine period. The frescoes of the large churches are in good condition. On the seaside there are the ruins of cisterns. The most interesting historical relic is the tunnel that links the two churches to each other. Some parts of the 500-metre long tunnel have collapsed. There are 17 stops in the staircase inside the tunnel. These are to represent the 17 points at which Christ halted while he was being taken to be crucified. As a result of an earthquake in 240-241 AD some of the ruins have slipped beneath the sea, lying at two metres depth. In the summer months the tree-covered Gemile Cove and beach, being well sheltered, is frequented not only by boats but also by picnickers who come through Fethiye-Hisarönü-Kayaköy. The cove is four kilometres from Kayaköy, and you can get to Gemile Cove from there on foot. This is also on a stopping point of one of the trekking trails.

Around Gemile there are also other locations to visit. These include, Beştaşlar, Soğuksu – where there is a fresh water spring going out into the sea - Kısık Cove and Afkule to the west of Kısık. You may not be able to do it all in one day. We are not overstating the case when we say that days and weeks will not be enough for Fethiye.

For information on Ölüdeniz and Kelebekler Vadisi (the Butterfly Valley) see Ölüdeniz pages.)

The Fethiye Museum, which should be visited ahead of or after the town tour, displays the finds from the archaeological excavations conducted in Fethiye and ancient cities in its vicinity. The museum has archaeological pieces from the Bronze, Archaic, Hellenistic, and Roman eages and ethnographic pieces from the MenteÅŸe, Ottoman ages and more recent times. The museum is open everyday except Mondays between 08:00 and 17:00.

Where to eat?

It is possible to find local dishes in the town centre and the hamlets.

You can have trout dishes, chicken, kanlı kavurma or a delicious breakfast with the local village bread.

It is also a privilege to have eels, bream or bass in the village of Kapıkırı near Lake Bafa. Also, nine kilometres from the village of Ören in Çöketrme, you can try the fish baked a stone oven with a special salad in the Kaptan Restaurant. Twenty nine kilometres from Milas, on the main Milas-Bodrum road, there is the village of Boğaziçi, where you can have shrimp cooked in butter or shrimp cooked in an earthen dish with green olives and local herbs.

Markets

 On every Tuesdays there is the weekly local market set up in Milas that goes all the way to the outskirts of the town. It is like a colourful net that surrounds all of Milas like a funfair. There is the crowd of foreign and domestic tourists coming to the market to buy local products such as olives, and yoghurt, stalls of fresh fruit and vegetables picked from the branches, pine scented honey, and thin hand woven materials sold by traditionally dressed women.

HANDCRAFTS

Handcrafts and embroidery

Some these handcrafts are the type of work Turkish girls do for their dowry such as clothes, coarsely-woven linen, needle work, edgings made with beads, crocheted edgings, carpets and hand woven materials. In Milas’ ÇomakdaÄŸ region in the village of KızıldaÄŸ there is embroidery made from pure silk that is called “yanış”. The yanış is made of bright and strong colour and is used for bags or hanging ornaments.

Wood engraving

There are also good examples of the historically famous Milas wood engraving to be found. The motifs made on the ceilings, eaves and cupboards of house survive to our day.

Carpet Making

Milas is one of the oldest settlements of the Turkomen tribes. The region in its tradition, customs and clothing has retained that characteristic. In the Milas area carpets unique to the region are woven. It is believed that the carpet making tradition in the region began with the making of prayer mats in the 16th century. The 18th and 19th century carpets from the region are classical (traditional) in their pattern and colour and Baroque in style

The classical types of Milas prayer mats are in the pattern of a prayer niche. The shape of the niche design is an equilateral rectangle. On the top of the niche there is a pattern representing a peak of a minaret and on the inner sides there are stylised plants figures. You see motifs that do not have contours.

The Ada Milas carpet is one of the oldest examples of Milas carpets. It has side patterns in lines next to each other. In each column the pattern is generally repeated. The carpets that are described as being in the baroque style were produced in the time of Sultan Abdülmecit, when there was the heavy influence of Europe on Ottoman arts and architecture. These carpets are marked with zigzag lines rather than straight ones and with a flower pattern on the sides. It took its name from the stylised pattern of a bouquet of carnations that was placed on one branch.

One other group of carpets in Milas are the ones with medallions. These carpets are in various shapes of rectangle, square and hexagon. The Karacahisar Halısı is among this group, which are produced in the village of Karacahisar.

In the making of Milas carpets pure wool was used since the 18th and 19th centuries. The carpets are coloured with natural dyes and root dyes. These types of carpets are still being woven in places such as Karacahisar, Ören, Dörttepe, Gereme, Bozalan, İkizköy, Pınarköy, Mezgit, Gürceğiz, Akçakaya and many other villages.

Car Repair Shops

If you require maintenance or repair work on your vehicle the place to have it done is in the region is Milas. You can even find an open repair shop on Sundays, along with the necessary parts.

The tours to the vicinity

The Handcraft and Carpet Villages Tour: You can visit the villages of Bozalan and Karacahisar and see how the carpets that are named after the villages are made. Those who want to buy a handmade carpet can find pieces that are reasonable priced.

The Culture Tour: The Milas town and its environs, apart from the activities listed above, is rich in respect to historical sites. As day trips you can visit Milas, Labranda, Euromos (Ayaklı), Herakleai (Kapıkırı), Iasos (Kıyıkışlacık), Beçin Castle and Keramos (Ören).

The Village Breakfast and Nature Walk Tour: You can talk walking tours around Lake Bafa and its surroundings. There are travel agencies that also organise these tours. A walk over the ancient city of Herakleai will take you back to olden times during this tour.

The Traditional Çomakdağ Houses and Local Weddings: The villages of İkiztaş, Kızılağaç and Ketendere on Çomakdağ Mountain are known as the Çomakdağ villages. It is worth seeing the stone houses and traditional clothing of the locals here. The engraved woodwork of the houses is still evident. The colourful woodwork on the ceilings, doors and cupboards are of real artistic value. Moreover, with their particularly unique wedding celebrations in summer many foreigners are attracted to the villages in this season.

Paragliding at Ören: The take off point for paragliding is on the 640 metre high Kocadağ and is open year round. To get to the point by vehicle takes about 20 minutes. The current produced in hot weather flows in one direction and is strong, minimising any risk of accident. The current lifts up the paraglider from the take off point and raises them into the air. Thanks to this current, you can land back at the same place you took off from, which does not happen at other paragliding mountain sites around the world. There is the chance to stay in the air for seven to eight hours due to the regular hot currents at Koacadağ. Experts from the Ege University provide you with the opportunity if you want it. In order to take this chance you have to make contacts through the Ören Municipality. Since there is no regular paragliding teams set up in Ören as yet they come down from İzmir as required.

Trekking Trails

Near Milas the best places to enjoy walking tours are around Lake Bafa and Ören. In Ören, going from Alatepe where the paragliding take offs are done, you can walk to the ancient city of Ören Yalısı via the ancient road. The route is marked by red painted marks but the trail has been made official.

In the Lake Bafa area you can walk to the hill where there is a monastery but it involves camping overnight. However, at Lake Bafa there are no officially set walking trails. For this walk you can make arrangements through a travel agency.

Festivals

Every year in the first week of September there is the traditional Milas Festival.

Picnic Grounds

The Beypınarı picnic ground is always a good spot for a picnic. There are also are trout restaurants in the area.

Folklore

Traditional Dances:

The most common dance in the region is the Zeybek, which is unique to the area. It is a slow motion dance, with an emphasis on arm and leg movements and is mainly performed by men. Some of the versions of the Zeybek are called Kerimoğlu, Çökterme, Keklik, Muğla Zeybeği and the Cavur Asarın Yolları.
