The beautiful long golden sandy beach can be reached by minibus or by a relaxing boat ride on the Dalyan river and through the reed beds.   As well as the Loggerhead & the Soft Shelled Nile Turtles, the wet land areas of Dalyan are home to many migrating birds and storks nest all over the area. Steeped in history, Dalyan is overlooked by ancient Lycian Rock Tombs, which are the last resting places of the Kings of Kaunos, meanwhile the Dalyan river weaves its way past the village on its way from Köyce?iz Lake to the beach.  Across the river we find the ruins of the city of Kaunos, with a Roman theatre, fortifications, basilica and many other sights to be seen.    Also with the famous Mud Baths, Thermal Springs, a Historic Mosque, Scenic Walks & many interesting boat trips available, Dalyan has it all for the perfect relaxing & thoroughly enjoyable holiday.
