Dalyan - one of the last corners of paradise

Dalyan, is one of the "last corners of paradise."

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

Dalyan sits on the river channel between the vast Köycegiz lake and the Mediterranean Sea. Access to the beach is by "water boat" and idyllic 30 min. journey past the spectacular 4th century Rock Tombs, or by a 20 min. bus ride to the other end of the beach.

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. The endangered Loggerhead Turtle has returned here for hundreds of years to lay its eggs.

Up river you can visit the mud baths or hot springs reputed to be good for skin and general health. You can also rent a boat and spend the day cruising around the lake.
