Birsen Says: First day we were very tired from the trip, after taking siesta by the river we realized it's maybe the time to go to the beach around 4 pm. Walked to the town and asked the minibuses to Iztuzu beach. Luckily we got one very quick and we were in the beach by 4:30 pm. There...
balhannah Says: The Dalyan area is one of the last remaining areas of Mediterranean wetlands. The Delta is a nature reserve to 120 species of birds and colonies of storks that frequent the area throughout the year. Many of these can be best seen from a boat chartered from the quay in Dalyan...
balhannah Says: WANT TO LOOK 10 YEARS YOUNGER?? Evidently the ancient Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra, did, as it is said that she often came to the mudbaths of Dalyan. In the area of the Dalyan channels and Lake Köyceðiz, thermal waters spring up at many places. The hot sulphurous waters are...
balhannah Says: These Tombs are an incredible sight. I sat in the boat and wondered how they managed to carve these in the Cliffs, what a feat that must have been!! Founded around the 9th century BC, Caunos became an important Carian city in 400 B.C. The rock tombs are sculpted in the form...
IZTUZU BEACH (Caretta, Caretta Beach)
balhannah Says: This is a very long sandy beach that the Turtles come to lay their eggs. The Turtles are called Loggerhead (Caretta, Caretta) It wasn't the right time of the day or year when I visited. The Beach is really a 5 mile sandbar that seperates the Delta from the Sea. On one side,...
JLBG Says: The tables of the bar were well shaded under the poplars. The drinks were perfectly cool. However, the temperature was deadly hot because of the northerly wind.What? Aren’t we in Turkey and isn’t Turkey in the Northern hemispheres and in the Northern hemisphere aren’t...
JLBG Says: After we had visited the Lycian graves and the ancient city of Caunos, we needed a drink and a rest. We were all more than happy to see that our cruise boat was to moor along this small wooden and shaded pier. Tall poplars made a nice shade while oleanders in fool bloom gave...
JLBG Says: When archeologist unearth parts of columns, if they ad just fallen down, they usually leave them either at the same place or close. However, often, the stones have been carried further and it is not possible at first to establish to which monument do they belong. They are...
JLBG Says: The church seems to have been built in the Vth. It is a large building, which tells that there should have been may Christians in Caunos. It has three bays and one apse The church has not been restored but insignificant rubbles around it have been removed, which allow to...
JLBG Says: The bath in Caunos is one of the Roman bath in the best condition in the country. From the windows of the bath, there is a view on the city and the harbor. Under the Byzantine rule, it was used as a fortress. It has been partly restored.
JLBG Says: Close to the tholos, stands the columns remaining from a long structure, 94m long and 6.30 m wide, that stood in front of the harbor. It was decorated with a great many statues. On two of the stands of the statues, carvings have revealed the names of Mausolus and of...

Fisherman boats or riverside restaurants: Must try "Blue Crab"

Belediye Parki - Public Park: Secret Garden in the town

Birsen Says: Dalyan is by the river. It's inevitable to escape from the mosquitos unless you come prepared. Bring repellent for the room and for your skin as well. They bited me mostly while I was dining outside. The bites are pretty itchy and if you scratch them it's painful...
royalempress Says: We really enjoyed sitting outside next to the pool. We spent many an afternoon at the cabana by the river enjoying fresh pizza fresh out of the fire heated oven. There were a few tables right next to the rivers edge. One day while we ate lunch I noticed the river had a lot...
