The tiny village of Dalyan is in the province of Mugla on the South-Western Mediterranean. It is set in the centre of a broad delta whose natural beauty is completely unspoilt. This is one of the last remaining corners of paradise,an area of outstanding beauty and of historic interest.Dalyan village is situated by the side of the river, surrounded by lush green fields breaking into spectacular mountain ranges. Located on the opposite side of the river is the ancient city of Caunos, the second greatest archaelogical site in Turkey. Only 15% of the city has been excavated and every year more treasures are unearthed. The area around Dalyan has some of the most diverse wildlife to be found in Turkey, including some species of birds not found anywhere else in the world. The weather is dry and warm all summer,yet many large rivers flow all year round due to the many underground springs. A short tranquil boat ride away is Iztuzu beach, home to the rare Caretta Carreta turtles. Dalyan has the views, history, culture, wildlife, water and sea topped off by the warm local hospitality of the Dalyan people. Dalyan is just 30 mins from Dalaman Airport.
