DALYAN and CAUNOS BOAT TOUR

The imposing Lycian rock tombs with their facades curved into the form of temples were the last resting place of the kings of Caunos.

The cute sea turtles, animals on the list of “animals in danger of exhaustion”, come to the Iztuzu Beach in Dalyan to lay their eggs.

Iztuzu (also known as "Turtle Beach") lies at the mouth of a fabulous river delta. As the boat splutters through 10ft-high reeds, Lycian tombs slide by adorning the hillsides.The beach also is one of the last natural breeding grounds for the loggerhead tu

It is told, even the ancient Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra, frequented the mudbaths of Dalyan regularly. These natural baths are one of the most popular places for famous people from all around the world.

Dalyan is a small town on the south-western coast of Turkey. It's 25 km from the international airport Dalaman. Set in the center of a broad delta whose natural beauty remains unspoilt. Dalyan is established in an environmentally protected area. This is one of the few surviving places of paradise, an area of natural beauty interest.

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. Starting from Dalyan Harbour the voyage through beds of bulrushes and pampas grass takes around 45 enjoyable minutes - 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.

Not everybody heads for the beaches each day, with many electing relax around their hotel pool, followed perhaps with an afternoon stroll along the river or village in search of a quiet spot to take lunch. Later, with the cooler evening air soothing sun kissed shoulders, you can once again walk the riverbank to settle in a waterside restaurant. The fish in Dalyan is quite excellent, especially when accompanied with a chilled beer as the setting sun sends shadows chasing through the nearby rock tombs. Make no mistake, if you need loud clubs open till late then Dalyan will disappoint, but we've found the main street through the resort provides more than enough bars and restaurants to keep your conversations fresh. Dalyan provides a holiday rich in peace and quiet, close to nature and with a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.
