Dalyan's small and friendly market place captures the warm and hospitable ambience of this historic fishing village. Set in an idyllic location where the Koycegiz lake laps at the hulls of the tiny fishing boats in the harbour waiting to sail you down the estuary through a tapestry of reeds and bull rushes to 'Turtle beach' famed for its beauty and the conservation of the endangered Loggerhead Turtles. Or relax by the waterside cafes and marvel at the Lycian rock tombs carved over 2000 years ago overlooking the village. The area is also renown for its mud baths and hot sulphur spas attracting tourists from surrounding resorts for their youthful and invigorating properties. For those interested in Archaeology the Caunos ancient city is nearby, offering a glimpse into past civilisations.
