Here it’s another wonderful locality. This place where Köyceğiz village turns into first Dalyan River then Mediterranean is also one of the Turkey’s paradises.
There are too much places that we can talk about. For example, let’s talk about İztuzu beach. What a tiny sand it has. Hundreds of tourists are in search of beauty and health in Cleopatra’s mud baths. Don’t forget Caretta Caretta, these sea turtles are oldest habitants in this place. Ask your boat’s captain to show them. He will drive boat to silent place and wait. Most probably you will see them.
Do you want caviar? You are at the right place. As the name implies, Dalyan means fish farm. You will see caviar stores on the either side of river. Its fresh and cheaper than the one in the bigger cities.
