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

The mountains form a dramatic backdrop along much of the coast, often dropping steeply right into the sea, but in some places rivers have washed down enough sediment over the ages to form beaches.

Tombs in Fethiye: The Tomb of Amyntas, which probably dates from the fourth century B.C. is one the most remarkable sites in the Turquoise Coast.

Oludeniz Lagoon: It is a sheltered lagoon of great beauty, almost totally cut off from the sea, at the northern end of a long cove. Stretching from the lagoon to the southern end of the cove is a long, sandy public beach.
