Bring swimwear that you don’t mind getting muddy, as the experience can get messy. Flip-flops or water shoes are recommended for walking around the pools. Don’t forget a towel and a plastic bag for wet items. While the mud is believed to have therapeutic benefits, those with sensitive skin should test a small area first. Avoid wearing jewelry as the mud and sulfur water can tarnish metals.

Dalyan is about 90 kilometers from Marmaris, making the Mud Baths an easy and enjoyable day trip. Many visitors opt for organized tours, which include round-trip transportation and a guided experience. Alternatively, you can drive to Dalyan and take a short boat ride across the river to reach the Mud Baths. The scenic boat journey is an experience in itself, offering views of the Lycian rock tombs and local wildlife along the way.

The Mud Baths are open year-round, but the best time to visit is during the spring and autumn months when the weather is pleasant. Summer is also a great time, but the midday heat can make the experience less comfortable, so plan your visit for the morning or late afternoon. Early visits often mean fewer crowds, allowing you to fully enjoy the relaxing and rejuvenating atmosphere.

Day trips from Marmaris to the Dalyan Mud Baths typically include a variety of activities. Most tours combine the Mud Baths with a boat cruise along the Dalyan River, a visit to Iztuzu Beach (Turtle Beach), and sometimes a stop at the ancient Lycian rock tombs. These tours offer a seamless way to explore the natural beauty, history, and unique attractions of the Dalyan region. Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or solo, a visit to the Mud Baths is a fun and rejuvenating addition to your Marmaris holiday.
