The romance of the place is heightened each morning as a fleet of gaily-painted boats chug off down the river carrying holidaymakers to the glorious sandy beaches at the mouth of the river delta. 

Didim For those of you who that love to lounge about on the beach all day and soak up the sun then Altinkum is definately the resort to be in. Altinkum translated stands for golden sands and it is easy to see why it was named this.

Kalkan Situated between Kas and Fethiye, Kalkan is an idyllic small but established town built on a mountainside leading down winding bourgainvillea lined streets to a pretty harbour which is still used for local fishing.
