Bird watching in Turkey will be a unique experience. A large diversity of migratory and non-migratory birds are to be found in Turkey. The turkish range of different ecosystems and positions makes it an important spot for many birds and therefore birdwatchers.

This tour will first host you for a few days in the wonderful area of Dalyan a rich green area with mountains, rivers and lakes. With Dalaman airport only a 30-minute drive away, it is a good place to start.

In Dalyan the rivers beds, ancient city of Kaunos, amber forests of Koycegiz and the high plateau of Agla will be visited. Here you can see the Kingfisher, Ducks, Herons, White Stork, Syrian Woodpecker and more.

A 2-day trip to a more Northern part of Turkey takes us to Lake Bafa, known for its flamingos, different landscape and hidden culture. A small family pension takes care of us, hot water for tea & several types of fresh herbal teas and coffee is always available. Great dinners will complete our intensive day tours. There are around 250 bird species to be found including White tailed Eagles and Dalmatian Pelicans.

The last day of this special birdwatching tour is  high up in the mountains behind Fethiye. A two hour drive brings us to Seki where we start with our birdwatching activities. You can spot the Snowfinch, Finsch's Wheatear, Red-fronted Serin and many more species.
