Day 2

Hamam - Turkish Bath in Bodrum is a must:
Hamam, that?s the word for the Turkish bath - surely an unforgettable part of your holiday and
the massage is the best part. On the marble slab the guest will receive a pummeling from head to
toe, let the expert scrub of all those dead cells, relax again, and then drift away while the
masseur straightens out all those knots and tense bits. All you have to do then is to wash your
hair and put on loads of sun cream before emerging. After that you can relax with a Gay (Turkish
tea) and you feel reborn. All rest of the day free and enjoy party and explore Bodrum.

Day 3

DALYAN (CAUNOS) TOUR
Dalyan is a very popular small town not spoiled by buildings. The wonderful 7 kilometer sandy
Iztuzu Beach, which is accessible by a 45 minutes boat trip, is one of the last nesting areas
for the Caretta caretta, Sea Turtles. Between May and September, the female turtles come to the
beach to lay their eggs, to keep check on them from time to time and finally to take their
babies to the sea.
Caunos, the ancient city near modern Dalyan, was founded around the 9th century BC. Once it was
a Mediterranean city port, but over the centuries the silt from the Dalyan River choked the
harbour and today the town lies several kilometers from the sea. Caunos is famous for its
rock-cut tombs. These were graves for the kings and important people of the city. Since the
Pagan people of the area believed in resurrection, they put lots of food, money, jewellery and
other valuable items in holes at the entrance of the tombs, but because of grave robbers nothing
is now left today.
