Holidays to Dalyan
Why Dalyan?
Nab yourself a holiday to Dalyan and experience a getaway to Turkey, steeped in all the things that make this country a marvellous one to visit. The turquoise sea waters glitter off stunning stretches of inviting beach sands, and you’ll be close enough to many of the other brill resorts that this region boasts to book some day trips over there.
An unmissable part of the Dalyan holiday experience is losing yourself in all the wonderous and historical sites that are just on the doorstep of your gorgeous resort. Journey to the nearby ancient city of Kaunos and feel half a time-traveller as you traverse its crumbled ruins – there’s the tiered semicircle of seating forming an amphitheatre and the tombs of ancient kinds embedded into the stony cliff face.
And a holiday to Dalyan is never completed without a well-earned wallow in the naturally occurring mud springs in the area. One bubbly, warm, and muddy dip could cure that little ache that’s been pestering you these past few weeks in minutes! (Well, you never know.)
Dalyan is also surrounded by natural beauty as well as historical marvels. There’s balmy Iztuzu Beach – home to the much loved loggerhead turtle, and a popular spot to see some dead-cute turtle babies flipping their way across the sand. And head to nearby Sulungur Lake if you want to take some simply stunning snaps of crystalline, still lake waters shimmering beneath the blue Turkish sky.
Your ideal Dalyan getaway is waiting for you to come on over and enjoy it.

Lovely hotel in beautiful grounds. The gardens and pool areas are immaculate. The staff are warm, friendly and accommodating. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Altogether a very nice environment. It's a very pleasant riverside walk into town. Dalyan itself is a magical place.
Things to Do
Whether you're looking for a beach getaway or city break, Dalyan has something to offer every discerning traveller
Kaunos
Wander amidst the crumbling ruins of this ancient city and be transported back in time. Tour the tumbledown walls of the acropolis and let the tiered stone benches of the amphitheatre bring to life fierce gladiator battles from ages gone by.
Kaunos Tombs of the Kings
On the borders of the nearby village of Candir, these ancient royal tombs are cut right into the rock face itself. Don’t leave Dalyan without experiencing this age-old wonder, carved in ornate fashion – and built as high as was possible at the time in order that the deceased kings could be closer to the gods.
Sulungur Lake
Grab your camera and get ready to take your best shot when you head to this nearby lake. A shimmering swathe of still water mirrors the blue sky above, and is dotted with reeds and ringed all around by lush trees that rustle in the breeze. And believe us when we say there is NO better place to enjoy a glorious sunset than here.
Dalyan Cami
This beautiful mosque is located in nearby Ortaca and is one of the most ornate buildings in the area. Set by the riverside and surrounded by an exquisite garden bursting with fragrant roses – remember to dress appropriately and act respectfully if you fancy a gander at the inside.
Oludeniz
Take a day trip to the resort of Oludeniz for a change of pace and natural sights that have to be seen to be believed. Swim in the periwinkle-blue waters of the lagoon, or take to the air and paraglide off an actual mountain, for soaring vistas of the land below.
Fethiye
This port city is not far away, well worth a visit during your Dalyan stay. Visit the natural wonders of Butterfly Valley or explore ancient tombs dating back as far as the fourth century.
Iztuzu Beach
Nearby to Dalyan lies this tip-top beach, an excellent spot for a cooling swim and – even more exciting – this stretch of sand is a well-known nesting place for the loggerhead turtle. So break up your sunbathing and sea-splashing, see if you can spot everyone’s favourite leathery friend.
Ekincik Beach
Just a hop, skip, and jump away is the seaside village of Ekincik, and its beach is known for being a water sports haven. Get on down here and play about in the waves, zooming across the periwinkle-blue waters on a jet-ski, or strapping on a snorkel and exploring the shallows.
Atlantis Marmaris Waterpark
If you’ve got the brood in tow and want to treat them to a cool day in a waterpark, there’s one close by in the resort of Marmaris. At journey’s end, enjoy splashing around in giant pools, zipping down zany water slides, and snacking on great grub (and perhaps sipping a cheeky cocktail) at the on-site restaurant and bar.
Scuba Diving
There’s the lion’s share of diving centres in Dalyan. So whether you’re a seasoned expert who’s been diving your whole life or a newcomer who’s always wanted to give it a go and decided that now is the right time – what are you waiting for? Grab some gear and get exploring.
Turkish Delight
A true DELIGHT for the taste buds, this rosewater-flavoured sweet treat tastes best when it is picked up fresh from a Turkish market.
Fresh Seafood
The sea is right next door, so it is no surprise that Dalyan and its surrounding resorts boast some truly mouth-watering fresh seafood. Chow down on fish so fresh it was caught just that morning, and delicious calamari.

Chock full of hotels just dying to spoil you silly, go all-inclusive to really kick your Turkish trip up to the next level – you’ll be relaxing so hard, the only danger is you might forget to order some of the food and drink you’ve already paid for.
