Map of South West Turkey (1 Viewer)

I'm off on a trip to Dalyan shortly and although I'll be taking my satnav, I also want a map of the region for a wider view.

I thought it would be a simple task, but I'm struggling.

There are maps of the whole country at 1:800,000 that are all but useless for my needs and a map at 1:150,000 showing the area from Fethiye to Antalya, which cleverly avoids Dalyan and points west.

Is there a map available at a scale of about 1:250,000 or 1:400,000 that takes in an area from Marmaris to Antalya?

For the area around Dalyan have a look here http://www.dalyanbirding.com/ there is also a couple of books available for the dalyan area written by Alan Fenn I would look at the backways and trackways book this is available from a number of outlets in Dalyan.

There is a map available from Kaunos Tours in Dalyan that covers the area from Koycegiz to Fethiye this is 1:70000 scale (1cm = 0.7km) this covers topographic contours. main roads, back roads and earth roads. etc I think it is about 29tl. This is a photo of the map to give you some idea of it



I don't know of any maps that would cover the whole area you want.

Thanks for the reply.

I'll look for the Kaunos map when I get there.

I've looked at your website before (it looks good) and we'll be using it on my wife's notebook when we get there, very useful.

I think I've found a map on the internet that might cover the area that I'm looking for, but it's not ideal, covering the whole Aegean coast at about 1:500,000. I've ordered it and we'll see what it's like. It will probably do the job in conjunction with the satnav.

I'm really looking forward to this trip. I've not been to Turkey yet and the area around Dalyan looks good. We'll be making excursions out to Korkuteli and Bafa Golu also, so there should be plenty to keep me happy.

Hope you have a good time here and see plenty of birds.
