Turkey offers much more than its most famous destinations. In the southwest of the country, the province of Muğla boasts some of the most unique landscapes on its coastline, where the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas meet amidst turquoise waters, pine-covered mountains, historic cities, and small coastal towns.
Thanks to Turkish Airlines ' connections from Spain, travelers can reach this region through its two main air gateways, Bodrum and Dalaman, and discover destinations such as Bodrum, Fethiye, Göcek, Dalyan and Marmaris.
The company currently connects Madrid and Barcelona with Bodrum and Dalaman via Istanbul, facilitating access from Spain to this area of the Turkish coast.
Bodrum, the Aegean in white and blue
Bodrum is one of Muğla's most popular destinations, combining its coastal character with a rich historical heritage. Its whitewashed houses, bougainvillea, traditional boats, and modern yachts create a landscape where the sea is ever-present.
Bodrum Castle, built by the Knights Hospitaller in the 15th century, dominates the coast, while the peninsula allows you to approach towns such as Gümüşlük, Yalıkavak and Turgutreis and discover its many bays from the sea.
Milas-Bodrum Airport, connected to Spain via Turkish Airlines, is one of the main gateways to begin exploring this part of the Aegean coast.
Fethiye, between mountains and turquoise waters
From Dalaman, another gateway to Muğla with Turkish Airlines, travelers can approach Fethiye, where the mountains descend to a coastline made up of beaches, islands and coves.
One of its most recognizable landscapes is Ölüdeniz, whose turquoise lagoon has become one of the most iconic images of the Turkish coast. The nearby Babadağ mountain is also one of the region's most popular spots for paragliding.
Fethiye also allows you to discover Kayaköy, with its abandoned stone houses, and the Valley of the Butterflies, surrounded by cliffs and accessible from the coast.
Göcek, a region to discover from the sea
The sheltered bays, wooded slopes and small islands make Göcek one of the most nautical-related locations in the entire province.
Yassıca Island, Göcek Island, Tersane Island, Cleopatra Bay, and Bedri Rahmi Bay are some of the places that can be discovered from the sea.
The area is also part of the traditional "Blue Journey" (Mavi Yolculuk), a way of exploring the Turkish coast aboard a boat, sailing between coves and bays and making stops to enjoy the scenery and the sea.
Dalyan, between nature and heritage
In Dalyan, the reed-lined canals lead to the ancient city of Kaunos, whose monumental rock-cut tombs are integrated into the cliffs.
The route continues to İztuzu beach, an important nesting area for the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta). The destination combines archaeological heritage, wetlands, mountains, and Mediterranean coastline in a single environment.
Marmaris, between forests and sea
Pine-covered hills surround Marmaris, whose coastline is made up of bays, beaches, and small islands. Its location between the Mediterranean and the Aegean has shaped its history as a port and its relationship with the sea.
Beyond the town itself, the nearby coves and islands allow you to discover the coast from the water and contemplate the contrast between the green forests and the intensely blue waters.
Türkiye within reach of Spanish travelers
The possibility of reaching Bodrum and Dalaman via Turkish Airlines allows you to use both airports as a starting point to explore Muğla and its various coastal destinations.
From Madrid and Barcelona, travelers can connect via Istanbul to this region of southwest Turkey, combining air access with different tours along the coast.
Thus, Turkish Airlines brings together from Spain one of the most diverse regions of the Turkish coast, from the coastal environment of Bodrum to the waters of Ölüdeniz, the bays of Göcek, the natural landscapes of Dalyan and the forests surrounding Marmaris.
