Dalyan

Why Go

Set on the south west corner of Turkey's Mediterranean coast, Dalyan holidays bring you to an unspoilt village surrounded by pine-clad hills, cotton fields and miles of untouched coastline. Dalyan is a traditional little fishing village nestling on the riverbank near Lake Köycegiz. Holidays in Dalyan bring you close to the astonishing rock tombs carved out of the local cliffs 2,500 years ago.

The surrounding area is a green valley - a unique setting for a relaxing package holiday to Turkey, and just made for exploring. So if you like to do far more than stretch out in the sun, the rich tapestry of history, mystery, nature and wonder to be found on holidays to Dalyan is perfect for you. At just 25 km from Dalaman airport, transfer times are refreshingly short too.

The Dalaman coastline is populated by various popular Turkey holiday resorts, and gets its nickname - the Lycian coast (or Turquoise Coast) due to the amazing colour of the water at the area's countless lagoon beaches. The natural scenery here is also outstanding, with forested mountains overlooking the lush greenery at the coast, where quiet resorts sit peacefully to provide visitors with a restful holiday in Dalyan among such fine natural scenery.
