Dalyan-träsken, vassarna, floden och sjön Koycegiz väckte internationell uppmärksamhet när en turkisk investerare började planera att bygga en resort nära Iztuzu-stranden, som är en häckningsplats för den hotade karettsköldpaddan. Tack vare många människor och prins Philip förklarade den turkiska regeringen området som Koycegiz-Dalyan Special Environmental Protection Area år 1988. Sedan dess har Dalyan och dess omgivningar blivit populära turistdestinationer tack vare den enastående naturen, vassarna, Iztuzu-stranden och den antika staden Kaunos. Namnet Dalyan kommer troligen från det grekiska ordet aliia som betyder fiske. Ta Aliia utvecklades till Dalyan på turkiska. Olika typer av fisk simmar uppströms Dalyan-floden till sjön Koycegiz för att lägga sina ägg. Förutom fiske spelar turism och jordbruk en viktig roll i ekonomin för människorna som lever i ännu ett paradis i Turkiet.

Var ligger Dalyan?

Staden Dalyan och dess naturliga skönheter ligger vid Turkiets världsberömda turkosa kust. Du kan ta dig dit med flyg som opereras av olika flygbolag via Dalaman flygplats. Det tar 40 minuter att köra från Dalaman flygplats till Dalyan. Förutom Istanbul och Ankara har Dalaman flygplats många flygningar från flera europeiska städer tack vare dess närhet till populära semesterorter som Fethiye och Gocek. Du kan planera in Dalyan i din sydvästra självkörningstur och ta dig dit med bil efter en tre timmars körning från Bodrum eller en timmes körning från Fethiye. Även om det är mycket bekvämt att besöka Dalyan på vägen till Bodrum från Fethiye eller vice versa under en dag, rekommenderar vi att du övernattar där för att njuta av de många aktiviteter som kan göras i området.

Saker att göra i Dalyan...

BÅTTUR PÅ DALYAN-FLODEN OCH IZTUZU-STRANDEN

Det finns pendelbåtar som erbjuder regelbundna turer från Dalyan stad till Iztuzu-stranden. Genom att betala en liten avgift kan du ta dig till Iztuzu-stranden och om du har tur kan du simma med havssköldpaddorna där. Det finns ett trevligt café med mat, dryck, toaletter och duschar som erbjuder allt du behöver för en härlig dag på stranden. Dessa båtar stannar vid hamnen till den antika staden Kaunos samt vid en fin vik för att ta bilder av de världsberömda klippgravarna i den antika staden Kaunos. Om du inte vill vara en del av en grupp kan du enkelt hyra en privat båt med en kapten ombord som tar dig runt och lagar en god grilllunch nära stranden.

KLIPPGRAVARNA I DEN ANTIKA STADEN KAUNOS

Härskarna i staden Kaunos begravdes i de majestätiska gravarna som huggits ut i den branta dolomiten mittemot Dalyan. Sex gravar höggs ut från 400-talet till 200-talet f.Kr. av folket i Kaunos. Gravarna är utformade som hellenistiska tempel med joniska pelare och arkitraver med friser. De flesta kaféer och restauranger erbjuder fantastiska utsikter över klippgravarna i den antika staden Kaunos.

DEN ANTIKA STADEN KAUNOS

Den antika staden Kaunos ligger på den klippiga kullen mittemot Dalyan stad. Du kan korsa Dalyan-floden med båt och gå i cirka 15 minuter till toppen för att utforska ruinerna och njuta av de fantastiska vyerna över Dalyan, träsken, vassarna, Iztuzu-stranden och Egeiska havet. Staden Kaunos grundades på 900-talet f.Kr. En liten sjö väster om den antika staden var hamnen där varor och produkter handlades till Medelhavsstäder. Kaunos erövrades av grekerna, Alexander den store, romarna och turkarna. Den antika staden övergavs på 1400-talet på grund av pesten. Du kan se teatern, stadsmurarna, hamnen, fontänerna och de romerska baden som är utspridda över ett stort område med fantastiska vyer.

LERBADEN I DALYAN

Lerbaden i Dalyan är så populära bland turister att det är det första stoppet på båtturerna. Baden ligger uppströms nära sjön Koycegiz. Duschar, kaféer, restauranger och toaletter finns tillgängliga på denna sevärdhet. En liten entréavgift tas ut som inkluderar användning av lerbaden, den termiska poolen, duschar och toaletter. Du kan tillbringa en trevlig halvdag i lerbaden och känna dig som Dustin Hoffman, Uma Thurman och Sting, som besökte baden på 1990-talet.
