RAFTING The Dalaman
is the best river in Southern Turkey for rafting with
genuine exhilarating grade four rapids.
In the past called Indos, Dalaman River has its source
within Kocas Mountain located nearby Dirmil. It runs into
the sea some 8 km south of Ortaca after its course through
a narrow and deep valley where two of its branches, one
coming from Goktepe and the other from Yaylacik Mountains,
being part of the Western Taurus Mountains merge together.
Its total length is: 229 km. It takes place between the
rivers that attract the largest number of tourists as
far as rafting is concerned. Dalaman River situated within
Mugla province borders amongst Köycegiz and Dalaman
is offering you R2 (difficulty rate: 3+) and R3 (difficulty
rate: 3-4+) level course services. The river increases
the adrenaline of the participants to the rafting activity
through its rapid and exciting course track. Dalaman
Upper River, which courses through a scenic gorge, is
laced with Class I-III rapids that offer easy to moderate
summer white water -- but still plenty of excitement
-- for kids as young as 6. On a hot summer day, join
the rafting team to cool down in the waters of fast
mountain river near Dalaman. The rafting routes are
specially designed for the different levels of rafting
experience or none at all. You can be rafting by yourself
or together with your friends in the larger boats. Usually
there is a break for lunch since the trip program is
for all afternoon. |

| SAILING It
is hard to imagine a more totally relaxing holiday than
one aboard a traditional Turkish gulet as it sails or
motors along the heart-stopping beautiful Turquoise coast.
Days are spent in unashamed
indolence and indulgence as the crew take care of the
sailing and navigation and present you with three delicious
meals and as many drinks as you care to order each day.
The major daily decisions are whether
to swim, snorkel or windsurf, go ashore and visit an
inviting archaeological site or pretty beach side village
or just drift and dream on your comfortable deck mattress. |

| HORSE RIDING This
is a fantastic way to experience some of the most stunning
scenery, history and wildlife in this area of outstanding
natural beauty. Ride in a
land dotted with olive groves and ancient sites, way
up into the rough mountains with breathtaking views,
swim in the clear blue waters and dry at an abandoned
beach.
There are unguided and guided trails,
instruction for the less experienced and combinations
of sun, sea and riding for more leisurely holidays.
Either with an easy ride on a willing
horse or with a frenetic gallop through endless green
plains, horse riding is a wonderful way to cross blooming
country sides, deserted beaches, ride around quite lakes
or trod on follow beaten paths. |
