Dalyan
Dalyan is small town on the south-western coast of Turkey. 25 km from the
international airport Dalaman. Set in the center of a broad delta whose natural
beauty remains unspoilt. Dalyan is established in an environmentally protected
area. This is one of the few surviving places of paradise, an area of natural
beauty interest.
Dalyan means in Turkish: Enclosure of nets fixed on poles used for catching fish.
Twelve years ago Dalyan was a small fishing village, the discovery of the
endangered Caretta Caretta Turtles and the wildlife in the area led to campaign
to listed the area for conservation.
Since 1989 Turkey has taken steps towards the the conservation of wildlife. One
and most important of protected area is Dalyan.
The village has therefore retained its natural charm and beauty. A haven for
relaxation that has blossomed to cater for the serious traveller. There are many
restaurants in which to try Turkish cuisine, bars and shops. There are few
discos out of town, so as not to disturb those of you that wish to retire early.
In summary a unique destination full of culture, charm, history and contrasting
beauty, excellent cuisine and unforgetable hospitality.
