Dalaman, home to Dalaman Airport, which serves Marmaris, Dalyan, Fethiye, Ovacik Hisaronou and Oludeniz.

Dalaman is the gateway to the Turquoise Coast, which stretches east to Antalya and west to Marmaris, along Turkey's southwestern Mediterranean coast.

Dalaman itself is a little Turkish Mediterranean farming town south of the coastal road. But most holiday visitors just pass through Dalaman Airport and on to their holiday resort.

The large region stretches from Antalya to Marmaris. Fethiye is a charming harbour town with a lively atmosphere and has plenty of good restaurants along the harbour front. One of the most beautiful of all Mediterranean beaches is at Olu Deniz with white sand, crystal blue waters and pine-covered slopes.
