Waterfall
There's a small waterfall about 7km west of town, where locals go to swim. Take any minibus heading west towards Marmaris and Muğla and tell the driver you want to get off at the şelale (waterfall). It's about a 15-minute walk from the highway.

Thera Fish Restaurant
On the other side of the Colıba you can pick your fish from a large tank on the waterfront terrace here. The red mullet fillets (TL15) are excellent, as is the sea bream (TL12). The excellent grilled prawns (TL25) are ideal for a special occasion.

Pembe Restaurant
Next door to the Colıba, the 'Pink' is housed in an unmissable house of that colour (with a bit of purple thrown in) and does relatively inexpensive seafood and meat dishes. Meze come in at between TL3 and TL4.

Hamitköy
Along the way take a brief detour to the village of Hamitköy, where you can see the last surviving example of a 'basket house', once common in the marshes. These unique woven dwellings, which could be picked up and moved, were the ideal type of housing in an area prone to flooding.

Colıba
In this very stylish restaurant, cool-headed staff serve delicious ordövr (mixed meze platter; TL8) and alabalık (trout; TL15), though the grills (TL10) are more of a bargain. Whitewashed and wooden, the Colıba has a shaded terrace with views of the lake.
