Dalyan

Dalyan is a small town nestled on the southwestern coast of the Mugla province in Turkey. It is located between Marmaris and Fethiye. Dalyan is exceptionally famous for its turtle nesting grounds, particularly for the protected loggerhead species. Moreover, the panoramic vistas of the sea make Dalyan a treat for the eye. Located on the banks of the river Dalyan, the town enjoys proximity to the ancient city of Kaunos, which now lives in ruins and is known for its Lycian rock tombs and remains of an old theater. Moreover, Dalyan is known for its baths, riverside trails, pomegranate breeding and laid-back vibe.

The Iztuzu beach in Dalyan is one of its most visited attractions as it is a natural breeding ground for loggerhead turtles. This vast sandy beach contrasts perfectly with the crystal blue waters, making it the ideal sunset point of the region. In addition, the Sultaniye hot springs, located right across the Koycegiz Lake, are mud baths with therapeutic properties. After soaking in the sun on a boat cruise and exploring ancient city ruins, grab a seat by the river to bask at Dalyan's best-known sight: the Tomb of the mighty king in Kaunos carved out of the cliffs that add a golden glow at sunset.

Dalyan's authentic sleepy riverside character makes it a perfect retreat for people who want to escape mundane lives. Situated in the Dalyan Delta, it is the city where green meets blue, offering mesmerizing sceneries of the waters. Dalyan offers tranquillity through its vistas and country-style living!
