Centrally located in the midst of the best of holiday locations on the south coast of Turkey, it has many advantages as a holiday destination. It is close to the famous Iztuzu Beach where the protected loggerhead turtles lay their eggs each summer. Just a 30 minute drive from Dalaman International Airport it lies right in the middle of the most visited tourist locales along the Mediterranean coast. Last season Dalyan was voted #1 traveller's choice holiday destination by TripAdvisor for 2010.

The newly built Dalaman International Airport Terminal cost approximately $150,000,000 to complete and is the third largest airport terminal building in the whole of Turkey and is geared up to handle 10 million travellers a year. There are twelve boarding gates and eight of them have covered airbridges. The apron was also re-designed at the time to increase space for remote stands. The airport currently has the capacity to handle up to 35 flights at any one time. The new airport terminal now has a floor space of 95,000m2 and is twice the size it was prior to the refurbishment.

Check-in and departures are in the upper two levels, while all flight arrivals use the lower two levels. Outside of the terminal building there are very good parking facilities for up to 550 vehicles. The old Terminal next door is still being used as the domestic flights terminal. There are daily flights to and from Ankara, and both of the Istanbul Airports with Turkish Airlines - thy.com.

Even with the ever increasing popularity of this area with tourists and holiday makers - once a fishing, agriculture and forestry center, the natural beauty in Dalaman is still relatively unspoiled and well-preserved by both the local people and Turkish government authorities. Dalaman is rapidly turning into a preferred holiday destination now, rather than just a stop over on the way to another resort town, and more and more foreigners are buying holiday apartments and villas in Dalaman.

Its new roads and streets and the constant development of the area, including the recent huge investment in the Airport are making it far more accessible and more attractive. This has been further fueled by an initiative by the Turkish Government to increase tourisim in this region and there are two new marinas currently being built. There is also the new International Lynx golf course and the new Hilton Golf Spa Hotel, along with four other brand new hotel complexes which were recently compleated in the local area, making it an every more incresingly popular holiday destination...
