Cheap Flights to Dalaman

Dalaman, the gateway to Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, can be distinguished by its dramatic mountain terrain, exquisite clear waters and blissfully balmy weather. The Dalaman region is home to dozens of Turkey’s more secluded and unspoiled beach resorts, including the peaceful towns of Fethiye, Mamaris and Dalyan.

When to book cheap flights to Dalaman

As a top summer destination, the Aegean coast is most popular from June to September. You’re therefore likely to pay more for your flights during this time. However, the summer here seems to stretch on, and even as late as early October, it is possible to find last minute flights to Dalaman while the weather is still warm.

Do be aware that most of Turkey’s beach resorts shut down over the winter. However, if you’re willing to explore the area and don’t mind trading the beach for some historic sightseeing, autumn and winter can be an excellent time to book cheap flights.

How to get around Dalaman

What are the must-sees in Dalaman?

It’s the sun and sea that attracts most visitors here, and Dalaman is home to more than its fair share of beautiful beaches. While more touristy areas are well equipped with amenities, it’s well worth making the effort to pack a picnic and to find somewhere a bit more secluded. Larger beaches, such as Sarigerme Beach in Osmaniye, are publicly owned, others require an entry fee meaning fewer tourists.

Boat trips also prove a popular pastime. Whether you want to explore the water from the surface in a glass-bottomed boat, or find a nearby island to snorkel around, there are plenty of options on offer.

Tips for travelling in Dalaman

When visiting Turkey, you will need to purchase a visa. While we recommend doing this online before you travel, it’s also possible to get one at the airport. You should also carry your visa with you at all times, along with a form of photographic ID. Given Turkey’s current political situation, police perform ID checks and it is illegal not to carry ID with you. While most visitors will find Dalaman quite laidback, Turkey is still a conservative country, so it’s advisable to bear this in mind while travelling.
