Dalyan is a small town situated in the middle of the broad delta of the Dalyan river, within a nature reserve established to preserve one of the worlds most important wetland areas. Dalyan is just a short journey by riverboat to the ancient city of Caunos and the famous Iztuzu Beach, where the Loggerhead Turtles return each year to breed. Its unique location in the middle of the conservation area alongside the meandering Dalyan River make Dalyan very popular with bird watchers and naturalists. It is a good location from which to explore the diverse aspects of the region. The town itself retains a village character and has many good restaurants and bars.
