Location description from owner

The Turkish Aegean Coast region

The tiny town of Dalyan in the province of Mugla on the South-Western Mediterranean is set in the centre of a broad delta whose natural beauty is completely unspoilt. This is one of the surviving corners of paradise, an area of outstanding natural beauty and historic interest. With its 5000 year old history still continuing since ancient Caunos. You will be amazed at the sites of very rare species of birds (you can't see anywhere else in the world), silver medal award winning thermal springs and, natural healing mud baths. Aswell as, spectacular channels weaved like a labyrinth, surrounded with reed beds and endless golden sands.
If you are in Dalyan, you surely must take a boat tour. You certainly can not find an answer to the question “how does it feel to be in nature?” until you take in the breathtaking view of the Dalyan Delta or the magic of the rush that makes you feel like you are in a gigantic labyrinth or wandering on a world map. When moving along the rush, the grandness of the steep rocks is a proof of the nature's generosity. The multicolored bird that appears suddenly and demonstrates a nice show on “how to catch fish” with its long rostrum is the kingfisher. Many observers from different parts of the world come to Dalyan to see rare birds, and birds such as this.
The ancient rock tombs of the Kings have become *another symbol of Dalyan after the famous Sea Turtles, Caretta Carettas. Although there are many rock tombs around the area, the most famous are those which look direct to the Dalyan municipality from the opposite side of the river. These tombs are the resting places of the Kings of Caunos. They are carved in the style of Lycian rock tombs. There are two types of tombs to be found in Dalyan. Simple chambers, cut *into the rock face like a room and more elaborate temple tombs. Many tombs were built with false walls placing valuables behind them so as to fool robbers, eventually this was to no avail as all the tombs were emptied of their treasures. The eternal King Tombs which have been standing there for thousands of years against all the harshness of time and carrying the mysteries of the past to the future had been caved in the gigantic rocks, at some points with an angle of 80 C to the sea, forcing the limits of your mind.
