You can easily get to Dalaman from Muğla-Fethiye highway. There are buses that run here every day from all major cities.

Those who come by plane land at the Dalaman Airport. The international airport also has domestic flights from cities such as Ankara and Istanbul. (For bus, airline and rent a car see the guide section.)

Food-Drink

The Dalaman Valley is very fertile and every season offers you an abundance of fruit and vegetables. Since there are always plenty of vegetables, local vegetable dishes are rich and widely consumed. Some of the green plants not even known in big cities, such beetroot, mustard, mallow, nettle, clayey, patience, purslane and yellow herb, are turned into delicious meals in the hands of local women. You can sample some of these in Dalaman’s restaurants.
