Description

Dalaman is a district, as well as the central town of that district, situated on the southwestern coast of Turkey, in the Muğla Province. Dalaman is known for its international airport which serves as a gateway to the tourists who visit this part of Turkey every year, heading especially to seaside resorts to the west and east of Dalaman. Apart from aviation activities, Dalaman plays host to one of Turkey`s biggest open prisons where less dangerous prisoners are sent as part of their rehabilitation programme.
