|
| | | A great place to stay en route |  | Why go on holiday to Dalaman?
Most visitors to Dalaman's international airport are usually passing through from charter flights for Mediterranean Turkish resorts like Marmaris and Fethiye. Bus connections to resorts along the coast are good and there are direct flights to Istanbul and Ankara from the airport.
The town itself is 5.5km from the terminal and has little to offer holidaymakers. Main street Ataturk Caddesi has shops, banks and basic restaurants and there is a good sandy beach at nearby Sarigerme which offers windsurfing and other activities.
How much will it cost?
Accommodation: from about £180 for a week's self-catering package in high season and from £160 for a return flight during the same period.
When should I go?
Turkey gets blisteringly hot in July and August, with daytime temperatures regularly reaching higher than 95F (35C). May and September are more comfortable. Winters are generally wet and cool, although clear blue skies are not uncommon.
Who's it aimed at?
Families, couples and young people in transit to resorts along the Mediterranean coast. Daytrippers and backpackers are well served by Dalaman's otogar (bus station), which sells tickets to many major destinations, including Istanbul.
What are the must-sees?
Take a 30-minute bus ride to Gocek, a delightful small fishing and yachting port about 23km east of Dalaman, for a relaxing day out. Enjoy a "12 island" cruise to nearby bays, get scrubbed down at a modern Turkish bath and hunt for colourful wallhangings, bedcovers and other souvenirs at excellent shops, such as Bazaar Anatolia.
Hire a car and drive along the highway east of Dalaman to popular resort Fethiye, past perfumed evergreen forests and breathtaking coastal scenery.
What will I spend?
Prices vary greatly, but as a very rough guide: a bottle of beer in a bar £1.50; moderate restaurant meal £20 for two people; a bottle of wine in a restaurant £8-9, a bottle of wine from a supermarket £4-5, 24-exposure film £2.50; four-mile taxi ride £8-£15, litre of petrol 75p.
