A family on the riverfront
Before we were an agency, we were neighbours, captains and hosts. That's still the job.
Our story
Hospitality is a local craft
Akhan Turizm began the way most good things in Dalyan begin — on the water. A family with boats, a town with wonders, and travellers who kept asking the same question: "Can you show us?"
Decades later, the answer hasn't changed. We are a fully licensed TÜRSAB travel agency, but we still measure success the old way: by the messages guests send the winter after, asking if their captain remembers them. (He does.)
From our office on the riverfront we arrange everything between the airport and the unforgettable: boat tours and day trips, airport transfers, villa and hotel stays, car hire, and journeys to the great icons of Türkiye — always with a local hand on the tiller.
What we stand on
Three promises, kept daily
Local first
Our captains, drivers and guides are from this river and these mountains. You'll taste the difference in every recommendation.
Licensed & accountable
TÜRSAB membership isn't a sticker — it's consumer protection, insurance and standards, in writing, for every booking.
Small & personal
We answer our own WhatsApp. The person who plans your day is the person who waves you off at the quay.
Our fleet
Travel in good hands
Modern, air-conditioned minibuses for airport transfers and tour days — driven by professionals who know every village shortcut between Dalaman and Marmaris.
From our printed guide
We drew you a map
Long before smartphones, our printed guide carried this illustrated map of the delta — every bay, village and thermal spring a story we could tell first-hand. The paper is older now. The knowledge is even better.
