Pamukkale - meaning "cotton castle" Pamukkale is one of the most extraordinary natural wonders in Turkey. Pamukkale is located in Turkey's Inner Aegean region, in the River Menderes valley, which enjoys a temperate climate over the greater part of the year. The big attraction is a vast white cliff side with scallop-shaped basins of water and frozen waterfalls. It looks as if it's made out of snow or cloud or balls of cotton.

The scientific explanation is that hot thermal springs pouring down the hillside deposit calcium carbonate, which solidifies as travertine. If you take off your shoes, you can gingerly roam the terraces or paddle in the pools.

Ephesus - The ancient city of Ephesus (Turkish: Efes), located near the Aegean Sea in modern day Turkey, was one of the great cities of the Greeks in Asia Minor. In ancient times Ephesus was the home of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Today, the ruins of Ephesus are a major tourist attraction. Ephesus remains a sacred site for Christians due to its association with several biblical figures, including St. Paul, St. John the Evangelist and the Virgin Mary. Ancient city of Kaunos - Kaunos ancient city, for which the excavations have been continuing beginning from the year 1966, is another beauty of Dalyan. Kaunos, which is determined to be founded in the B.C. 3000's years, is one of the Greek colonies in the Caria region. Kaunos, which is famous with the king tombs engraved in the rocks, is at one-kilometer distance to Dalyan. You can reach Kaunos through highway or by means of sea boats.

Kayakoy (Ghost Town) - Kayakoy lays on the way to Gemiler from Hisaronu, in a isolated valley and now this village is famous with its restaurants and old houses. Greek people used to live in peace under the rule of the Ottoman Empire however in January 30 1923; there was a population exchange agreement between Turkish - Greek governments.

According to this agreement, the Greek people living in Turkey would be sent to Greece and the Turkish people in Greece would be sent to Turkey. The Greek people here, by this agreement, went back to Greece; but the Turkish people living in Greece didn't want to come back to Turkey, because the Greek government did not want to pay the indemnity for any of the goods, lands, or the houses they owned in Greece. So that, the houses which were reserved for the Turkish residence, waited for a long time with allowing no one in.

Olympos - The city became one of the six leading cities of the Lycian federation. In the 1st century BC, Olympos was invaded and settled by Cilician pirates. This ended in 78 BC, when the Roman commander Servilius Isaurieus added the city to the Roman Empire. The emperor Hadrian visited the city after which it took the name of Hadrianopolis for a period, in his honour.

Near Olympos, about 200 meters above sea level, some eternal flames called the Chimaera may be seen issuing from the ground. The fuel source for the flames is natural gas, largely methane, seeping through cracks in the earth. Today the site attracts tourists, not only for the artefacts that can still be found (though fragmentary and widely scattered), but also for its scenic landscapes supporting wild grapevines, flowering oleander, bay trees, figs and pines. All of this lies just inland from a beautiful beach along the course of a stream which runs through a rocky gorge.
