Dalyan is the closest resort to Dalaman Airport, only half an hour away, which makes it an easy first night in Turkey.
Dalaman Airport (DLM) is 30 kilometres from Dalyan, about 30 minutes by road.
Direct flights to Dalaman take about four hours, with Jet2, easyJet, TUI, British Airways and Pegasus flying from most UK airports in summer and services from Dublin. Via Istanbul in winter.
Taxis and private transfers take half an hour. Havaş shuttles go to Ortaca, from where dolmuş minibuses run the last ten minutes to Dalyan.
Dalyan is a short detour off the D400 between Fethiye (an hour) and Marmaris (an hour and a quarter). Hiring a car is useful for Köyceğiz and the beaches beyond.
Check entry rules for UK and Irish passports, read getting around Turkey and compare car hire in Dalyan. Then pick where to stay.
