Its story

The Dalaman River rises in the mountains south of Gölhisar and flows for about 229 km before emptying into the Mediterranean. In its upper course it passes through deep valleys around Çameli and Acıpayam; its middle sections are used for rafting. In its lower course it irrigates the Dalaman plain before reaching the sea. Known in antiquity as the Indos, the river formed a natural border between Caria and Lycia.
