About half an hour’s drive from Fethiye, just west of Dalaman Airport and east of Marmaris, sits one of our favourite little towns, Dalyan.
A central part of life in Dalyan is, of course, its river. The Dalyan Çayı. This is the meandering stretch of water that connects the lake at Köyceğiz to the Mediterranean Sea. Dalyan restaurants are pretty numerous and it would be remiss not to have at least one meal on the banks of the river. Choose a selection of meze plates from the fridges and graze on classic Turkish delicacies whilst watching the river boats chug along the waterways.
Most of the riverside restaurants offer views across the water to the magnificent Dalyan rock tombs; the Kings’ Rock Tombs. You can also catch a sunset – this is where life on the river slows down a little…
Hop In A Boat
A Dalyan boat trip of some description is a must. In the summer season, there are daily excursions along the river. Use the people’s taxi boat to head to the protected area along Iztuzu Beach or head in the opposite direction to Köyceğiz and its Monday market.
