Dalaman, Turkey is an area of natural beauty. It is located between the sea and mountains and benefits from its proximity to many areas of interest both historical and geographic interest (e.g. Dalyan mud baths, ancient tombs etc).
Dalaman is rapidy becoming a popular holiday destination rather than just a stop over on the way to some other resort town such as Bodrum. Recent investments to the airport, road ways and the continuous development of the area are making it more accessable. Over-development and exploitation of the area is stopped by the protection afforded to the rare loggerhead turtles that frequent the river and beach. This should ensure that Dalaman continues to develop in harmony with its surrounding environment and retain its natural beauty
Dalaman is now rapidly becoming an investment area for many Europeans purchasing property for investment in Turkey. This seems due to many factors including the town being designated a main tourist resort from now on with plans for new marinas and a golf course underway.
Dalaman town itself has many shops, restaurants, bars and tea gardens and is growing quickly due to the investment in the area. Dalaman has its own huge natural beach.
