A cool morning on the Dalaman River starts with the splash of paddles and a low mist lifting from limestone banks. The raft slips into current that seems to dare you forward, and for the next eight hours the river alternates between wide, slow reaches and short, playful rapids that jolt the group into sharp focus.
