Dalyan

Set inland on the banks of the Dalyan River, the village of Dalyan is a peaceful holiday backwater unspoilt by mass tourism. The romance of the place is heightened each morning as a fleet of gaily-painted boats chug off down the river carrying holidaymakers to the glorious sandy beaches at the mouth of the river delta.

The entire Delta is a protected National Conservation area and is home to over 100 species of birds along with no less than three varieties of turtle, including the Loggerhead.

The ruins of the ancient city Caunos are easily accessible and well worth exploring. It dates from 3000 BC and among the ruins is a 5000 seat theater. The village is in the center of a broad delta at the head of which lies the 7 km. long sandbar called Iztuzu beach.

Dalyan provides a holiday rich in peace and quiet, close to nature and with a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.

Surrounded by beautiful pine-clad mountains, cotton fields and bulrushes, this is national conservation area with unspoilt natural beauty.
