MUD BATH make you look ten years younger |
In the area of the Dalyan channels and Lake Köyceğiz thermal waters spring up at many places. The hot sulphurous waters are credited with healing rheumatic and skin diseases as well as other cases. However, the Sultaniye thermal waters, just 15 minutes from the town centre, have developed differently and became a tourist attraction. |
The mud bath, where generally foreign tourist get into the mud and have their photos taken, is always colourful and crowded but gives a good photo opportunity. You can immortalise this moment by posing for the camera before and after getting into the mud, which is supposed to have a beautifying effect on the skin but has also won a reputation engendering a sense of fun. |
Take a boat trip from Dalyan to the mud and sulphur baths on the Lake Koycegiz side and wallow, hippopotamus style, in the warm, sticky swamp. It not only claims to have therapeutic properties (curing all manner of ills from skin problems to gastric conditions) but also claims to make you look ten years younger. |
Once you have covered yourself in the mud you then wait for it to dry in the sun. The sulphur pool in which you clean yourself after your Mudbath is also at a temperature of 40 degrees. Take a long your swimming custome and towel. you can usually shower. |
