Glorious mud baths

When you take a cruise on a Turkish schooner called the Gulet, a relaxing wallow in the mud baths of the ancient village of Dalyan could be on the itinerary.

The visit to Dalyan is optional on an eight-day tour aboard the Gulet, with a twin-share, tour-only price of $1237 for August; $1098 for September; and $949 for October.

The cruise combines day-time water activities, such as snorkelling, with the nightlife in Turkey's coastal towns, including belly-dancing and nightclubbing.
