Set
inland on the banks of the Dalyan
River, the village of Dalyan is a
peaceful holiday backwater
unspoilt by mass tourism. The
romance of the place is heightened
each morning as a fleet of
gaily-painted boats chug off down
the river carrying holidaymakers
to the glorious sandy beaches at
the mouth of the river delta.
Starting from Dalyan Harbour the
voyage through beds of bulrushes
and pampas grass takes around 45
enjoyable minutes - the entire
Delta is a protected National
Conservation area and is home to
over 100 species of birds along
with no less than three varieties
of turtle, including the
Loggerhead.
Not
everybody heads for the beaches
each day, with many electing relax
around their hotel pool, followed
perhaps with an afternoon stroll
along the river or village in
search of a quiet spot to take
lunch. Later, with the cooler
evening air soothing sun kissed
shoulders, you can once again walk
the riverbank to settle in a
waterside restaurant. The fish in
Dalyan is quite excellent,
especially when accompanied with a
chilled beer as the setting sun
sends shadows chasing through the
nearby rock tombs. Make no
mistake, if you need loud clubs
open till late then Dalyan will
disappoint, but we've found the
main street through the resort
provides more than enough bars and
restaurants to keep your
conversations fresh. Dalyan
provides a holiday rich in peace
and quiet, close to nature and
with a comfortable and relaxing
atmosphere.
