The Best Tours in Dalyan
My title says it all. I have been coming to Dalyan for many years now and have experienced several tour companies, discovered Volkan a few years ago and now I wouldn’t book with anyone else! The groups are smaller and therefore more intimate, he takes you to some of the more ‘out of the way’ places as well as the usual sights, and his proud knowledge of the area and its history makes all the trips so interesting.
If you fancy the “12 Island ” boat trip – don’t even think of going with anyone else (I have, in the past, but none are as good as Volkan)
This year I also went to Kalkan and Kas (I forget the name of the trip) – a whole day, unforgettable sights, plenty of swim stops, amazing food and finishing with dinner and dancing! Thank you Volkan!
I cannot recommend too highly – absolutely superb ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best there is!

Another year and yet more amazing adventures and memories made with Volkan. He really is the best there is – every trip is fun filled, knowledge packed, and feast for the eyes – we did several trips this year and each was spectacular!! If you want to see the best of Turkey around Dalyan, Volkan should be your guide!! Luxurious transport, fantastic traditional food, fantastic company, and memories made – a treat for all the senses!!

Wine tasting trip fantastic
What a wonderful experience with some wonderful people.
I booked on the wine tasting river cruise and throughly enjoyed it.
The whole trip was well organised, affordable, and most importantly was a great relaxed vibe with some excellent people.
Honestly, when booking I was expecting some bath-tub wine (it’s unlimited wine) and a general booze cruise rather than a wine tasting. I was (very) pleasantly surprised.
Some excellent wines, with Volkan explaining the cultivation history. Everything was relaxed, you could return to wines you enjoyed and skip wines you don’t. I found the majority of the wines to be excellent, some had surprising depth and flavour comparable to European varieties. There was focus on native grapes which was fantastic, they clearly put a lot of effort into sourcing excellent wine to try.
Additionally, the food cooked by Volkan’s very talented and beautiful wife was an absolute pleasure. You arrive to a mezze spread fit for a king- with fantastic cheeses, meats and some beautiful homemade sauce – they could make a fortune selling some of these on the boat as they were *that* good.
Later you’re treated to more beautiful cooking (rice and stewed meat) – there’s also plenty of time for swimming and a alcohol fueled sing-song and dance on the boat.
It was a fantastic experience, made all the better for sharing it with the wonderful couple that run it.
Everything was relaxed; you want more wine/food.. you have it.. you want more wine history/less? Easy.
I would thoroughly recommend this tour, and can say the wines (and food) are excellent.

Wine tasting on a boat!
Incredible wine tour on a boat! Watching the sun set while swimming in the lake with the bar table floating by us was magical!

Great wine selection with lots of information about the wines and their history.

The home cooked food was amazing, a variety of canapes followed by delicious casseroles, catering for vegan as well as meat dishes.

Incredible setting, Vulcan and the team very knowledgeable and made a great atmosphere – we loved the dancing!
