Flight prices do seem to change even from day to day so it is worth tracking them for a while. It is usually cheaper to either book well in advance or to wait until the last minute if you dare!
British Airways are now flying direct from Gatwick to Dalaman 3 times a week. We also sometimes use Turkish Airlines and travel via Istanbul:
It involves changing at Istanbul will transfer times of 1.5 hours and upwards. However the flights include luggage, food etc so can work out cheaper than those above.
Another option is to spend a couple of days and nights exploring Istanbul before getting a flight to Dalaman.

Transfers
The journey from Dalaman airport to Dalyan and our apartment takes around 30 minutes. We can arrange transfers for you in a taxi/minibus. This will cost approximately £64 return for 1-4 people and £84 return for 5-6 people.
Alternatively we can arrange car hire for you if you would prefer to make your own way to Dalyan.

Car Hire
As mentioned above we can arrange car hire for you with a reputable local company, Kaunos Tours who are also our mangement company.
However, car hire is by no means necessary. It is perfectly possible to spend 14 days in Dalyan without a car. Everything is within walking or boating distance and all trips include transfers. If you wish to hire a car there are also interesting places to visit further afield.

Weather
Dalyan has a typical Mediterranean climate with long hot summers and short winters. Winter in Dalyan can be wet with heavy rains (which is why it is very green even in the middle of summer) However there are still many hot and sunny days to enjoy walks and other outdoor activities. Summers can be rain free from June to September, although the occasional short-lived thunder storm is still possible.
The summer months (July and August) are very hot, although a lovely sea breeze blows from around midday most days. Evenings at this time are also beautifully warm. April, May, June and September and October have hot days but the evenings are fresher (light cardigans/jumpers may be needed).
