Planning your visit

Set on the south west corner of Turkey's Mediterranean coast, Dalyan is an unspoilt village resort near Dalaman. Surrounded by pine-clad hills, cotton fields and bull rushes, this little fishing village nestles on the riverbank near Lake Köycegiz. Facing the village across the beautiful river are astonishing rock tombs carved out of the cliffs. These were built by the people of Caria, who founded the city of Kaunos around 400 BC.

The surrounding area is a green valley - a unique setting for a relaxing package holiday in Turkey, with its rich variety of landscapes and pastimes on offer. Although the region is dry and hot, the area is well nourished by the fresh water springs, fresh water lake and of course the Mediterranean Sea.

There is also a magnificent 4 km long white sand beach just around the corner from Dalyan harbour - take boat trips from here to get a great look at the picturesque coast. There are plenty of activities to keep you occupied including scuba diving, white water rafting, paragliding and mountain biking.

A meal of local seafood at some of the excellent restaurants and bars along the riverfront are best complemented with a romantic evening stroll along the water's edge. Whether you are seeking beach relaxation, family fun or action-packed days enjoy the spectacular climate of southern Turkey in Dalyan.
