Pressing on, you anchor for the night in serene Ekincik Bay, from where a memorable excursion by local river boat along the Dalyan Delta reveals Lycian rock tombs carved high into the cliffs and the protected Iztuzu Beach, nesting ground of the endangered loggerhead turtle.

You then glide into Bedri Rahmi Bay, named in honour of the beloved Turkish painter, where Lycian rock tombs gaze down from the cliffs above and the turquoise shallows offer some of the finest swimming of the entire voyage.
