Dalyan trip planner

Although it once seemed destined to become a stereotypical coastal resort, Dalyan remains unspoiled by commercial tourism because of its location within an environmentally protected area. A sheltered nesting ground for rare loggerhead turtles, the Dalyan coastline retains much of its sleepy character because strict local regulations protect against overdevelopment. Most visitors come to experience the beaches and admire the city's famous rock tombs, which were cut into the region's rugged cliffs over two millennia ago. After you have your fill of basking on the sand in Dalyan, take a guided boat trip to the ancient trading city of Kaunos--its ruins contain a well-preserved amphitheater and acropolis. Explore the family-friendly attractions of Dalyan and add them to your vacation plans using our Turkey online route planner.
