The area around Dalyan has enough activities to keep young and old entertained for the entire holiday without the need to worry about hiring a car. Dalyan is on a river delta and is flat and therefore ideal for walking and cycling. The glorious river is the centre of a wide delta and is surrounded by mountains which form an impressive 360 degree backdrop. Boats are the main form of transport for a variety of days out. The favourite is to the 3 mile long beach, a beach made famous worldwide by David Bellamy as it is a nesting ground for ancient loggerhead turtles.
The trip to the beach is magnificent, you pass through the reed beds toward the beach, passing the ancient city of Caunos on the way, complete with amphitheatre and Roman baths. You may like to hire a boat for the day to explore the many blue coves out to sea or upstream to the wonderful lake. Lunch and drinks can be provided onboard at a very reasonable rate.
