TLOS, SAKLIKENT GORGE & YAKAPARK : Travel through picturesque rural Fethiye to explore the Lycian, Byzantine and Ottoman ruins at ancient city of Tlos, supposed home of Pegasus the winged horse. Enjoy a delicious lunch of grilled trout, mezes and salads in the open air of leafy Yakapark trout farm. See the art of carpet and kilim making in action at a traditional carpet factory. Then discover hidden Saklikent Canyon, with its gushing waterfalls and icy torrents of water to freshen you up before return.

DALYAN, KAUNOS & TURTLE BEACH : A short journey by air-conditioned bus takes you to the fishing harbor of Dalyan to start a boat trip down the meandering Dalyan river delta (where the "African Queen" was filmed) to the golden sands of Iztuzu Beach. En route, you will pass the amazing millennia old rock tombs hewn into the sheer cliff face hundreds feet up, and the ruins of Kaunos Lycian city. A stop at the sulphurous mud baths will (they say) 'take ten years off you' if you wallow for long enough! If that does not work, perhaps an afternoon nap on 'Turtle Beach' will! Do, however, keep just one eye open to catch a glimpse of a rare loggerhead turtle coming inland to nest.

JEEP SAFARI : Drive off the beaten track in jeep convoy to discover ancient cultures, village life and beautiful countryside. Explore the ruins of the ancient city of Tlos, then see the art of carpet and kilim making at a traditional factory before exploring the icy waterfalls and streams of hidden Saklikent Canyon. After lunch in the open air, and en route to the beautiful classical ruins at Xanthos, the mud baths and icy rushing waters of the Xanthos River will give you a chance to cool off before relaxing on the white sands of 18 km long Patara Beach. Be prepared to return a little tired and dusty but thoroughly exhilarated, after your 180 km round trip as a driver or non-driver.

PAMUKKALE : Do not miss the chance to see one of the wonders of the Natural World magnificent Pamukkale (literally 'Cotton Castle') which has been formed over thousands of years by thermal spring waters pouring down the mountainside and calcifying to form cascading terraces of glittering white basins of water. Due to the healing properties of the water, the Romans founded Hierapolis nearby as a spa centre, and today, the baths, theatre and graveyard of over 1200 sarcophagi can still be seen.
