Dalyan is an ideal family holiday destination with lots to do for all ages. You can feel confident that young teenagers can be given some freedom knowing they will be safe in and around the town. A car is not essential. There are 7 bikes at the villa for guests to use. Cycling around the town is very safe and very easy as it is flat. Biking down the road to the little shop in a morning for the fresh bread is a great way to start the day followed by that first cup of tea sitting on the terrace overlooking the pool enjoying the wonderful peace and quiet.

The best way to travel to the 5km long Iztuzu Beach is by boat from the harbour. The boat winds its way through the reed beds ( it was here that The African Queen was filmed with Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn). Watch out for kingfishers, white egrets, marsh harriers, storks and of course turtles. Another option is to take the boat, walk all the way along the beach and come back on the local minibus service called the Dolmus. This travels back over the mountain to Dalyan. Make sure you know what time the last Dolmus goes. The beach is beautiful and the bathing very safe. It was voted one of the 10 best beaches in the world. At the dolmus end of the beach you will find the Turtle Hospital where you will see rescued turtles being looked after before being returned to the sea. At certain times of the year there are also newly hatched turtles which have been rescued.

The mudbaths are a must during your stay. They say the mud is very theraputic and makes you look younger.
If you fancy a day on the lake swimming and fishing with a bbq lunch there are details in the villa of the boatmen who will do this for you. They will also offer a sunset trip if you wish.
Alternatively hire a boat to take you to see the Loggerhead Turtles before trying your hand at fishing for Blue Crabs.

If you like ancient architecture the Roman ruins across the river at Caunos are really interesting. Go to the end of the harbour and cross the river by rowing boat. You land right below the ancient Lycien Rock Tombs carved into the rockface. The Caunos ruins are only a short walk away. You can take the bikes if you wish. It's no problem for the boatman/woman. You will be amazed at their rowing skills.

If you want adventure call in at the Kaunos Tours office in the town. They offer a range of guided activities including mountain biking, canyonning, trekking, canoeing, whitewater rafting, fishing and much more. They are a highly reputable company who are very safety conscious so you can put yourself in their hands with confidence.

Whatever the activities enjoyed during the day, there is no better end than sitting in the kosk, in the warm evening sunshine with a G&T watching the sun disappear behind the mountains. Paradise!

Located in Ortaca, this villa is in a rural area and near the beach. While the natural beauty of Iztuzu Beach and Sarigerme Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Sultaniye Hot Springs.
