General presentation
Dalyan et le delta du Dalyan
Between Lake Köyceğiz and the Mediterranean, Dalyan develops along a network of channels and reeds. The remains of Kaunos and the tombs of the caves remind the old port role of the area. The beach of d İztuzu closes the delta and welcomes the laying of sea turtles, which requires a careful discovery of the rules of protection.
Kaunos, Beach d'Iztuzu and Lake Köyceğiz give the most telling landmarks of Dalyan and the Dalyan delta. Together, they form a destination where riverscapes, wetlands, shores and lakes and the coastline meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than a single uniform setting.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: respect protected areas and laying rules in Žztuzu; no access to guaranteed tombs. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.

Heritage
Kaunos
Kaunos was a port city on the border of the Caria and Lycia. The area was swelled and the formation of the d İztuzu cord removed its remains from the sea, now located beyond the delta.

Nature
Plage d’İztuzu
İztuzu forms a sandy barrier between the Dalyan Delta and the Mediterranean. This protected beach is an important nesting site for turtles; its discovery must respect regulated areas and periods.

Nature
Lac de Köyceğiz
Lake Köyceğiz communicates with the Mediterranean via the Dalyan channel and its reeds. Its shores belong to a protected natural complex that connects the lake basin, wetlands and the coast.

Walk
Rives de Dalyan et tombeaux rupestres
Dalyan develops on the edge of the channel that connects Lake Köyceğiz to the coast. The caves of the caves visible in the nearby cliffs and the reeds give the riparian walk its own identity.
