Dalyan:
Dalyan is a small village built along one side of the Dalyan river, close to the ancient site of Caunos. A group of spectacular Lycian tombs are carved into the cliff face onto the opposite side of the river.

Fish restaurants line the quayside at the centre of the village, while small pansiyon and attractive hotels are built at the waterside on either side of the village.

By night the waterside restaurants and bars come alive with music and laughter and many new friendships are forged.

The pretty riverside village of Dalyan offers many diversions including impressive rock tombs, the atmospheric site of ancient Caunos and famous mud baths. Not least of its' attractions is the reed fringed delta along which wooden boats ferry visitors to the wide expanse of Iztuzu beach, made famous by the successful campaign to protect the eggs of the loggerhead turtle.

A full boat tour starts at the hot springs near Koycegiz Lake, and then follows a meandering course down the river through the thick reeds and bamboos towards Caunos. A system of gateways, constructed across the river, catch sea bass and grey mullet as they return to the sea after spawning in the lake.
