Dalaman serves the holiday resorts of Turkey’s Aegean Coast. From there a hire car will take you to any of the resorts such as Marmaris, Fethiye, Dalyan or Kas, each offering distinctive holidays.
Dalaman city, whilst mostly commercial, has several sites of interest including a railway station not connected to a rail network despite the presence of a railway track! It was shipped there by mistake and it was cheaper to build it than to return it! Elsewhere the landscape is attractive with the city and airport residing on some of the very rare flat land in the region.
