Dalyan has to be one of the best kept secrets in the world.

 

This tiny town in South West Turkey is an ideal holiday destination.

 

Nestled between the mountains, on the riverfront, it is close to the beautiful İztuzu beach, where the loggerhead turtles nest, and is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty and historic interest.

 

It is a great place for families as there is so much to do. You can go trekking, white water rafting, canyoning, scuba diving, parascending, sea kayaking, horse riding, sea fishing or mountain biking. You can explore the ancient ruins of Caunos, wonder at the Lycian Rock Tombs which overlook the village, enjoy therapeutic mud baths and thermal spas and be amazed by the fantastic array of birds and wildlife in this famous conservation area.

 

Or if that all sounds like hard work, you can just relax by the pool and enjoy the sunshine.

 

Nightlife is plentiful and varied with a fantastic selection of bars, restaurants and entertainment. Everyone who discovers this magical place wants to come back again and again.
