Dalyan
Turkey
The resort
of Dalyan is situated on a river at the head of a delta which is fed
from the nearby mountains. The whole of the Dalyan area was designated
a conservation area and nature reserve in 1986 and is now a well established
haven for wildlife such as the loggerhead turtles which nest on the
nearby Iztuzu beach, and also bird life such as kingfishers and egrets.

The town
itself is small quiet and full of Turkish Charm, new building has been
kept to a minimum, it has good quality hotels many with there grounds
backing on to the river, usually family run and also a number of Villas
for private rental.
There is
a good selection of good value restaurants many looking out over the
river to the spectacular rock tombs which date back to 3000 B.C. carved
in to the cliffs on the far side
The best
way to see the area is by boat, these are plentiful and the views as
they make their way down the river to Iztuzu beach at a leisurely pace
are wonderful. Other attractions at Dalyan are the famous mud baths
and hot thermal springs, these are said to be so good for the skin that
you come out looking ten years younger. Iztuzu beach itself is a beautiful
unspoilt expanse of sand there is no building there apart from a small
bar which offers light snacks and refreshments. Sunlounger and parasols
are also available for rent on the beach.
Most visitors
to Dalyan come here for the peace and quiet, the friendly Turkish atmosphere
and the beautiful landscape of mountains, lush greenery, cotton fields
and orchards full of citrus fruit trees. This truly one of Turkeys beautiful
places and is one of the most unspoilt holiday destinations on Turkeys
Turquoise Coast.
There is
a small amount of building going on in the Dalyan area mainly good quality
detached Villas with private pools, property prices are slightly higher
here due to restrictions and the scarcity of building land but still
represent excellent value for money compared with other European countries.
There are several local Estate Agents.
