Holiday with Caretta Carettas, Dalyan
Dalyan, a town in the Ortaca district of Muğla, is located at the point where Köyceğiz Lake meets the Mediterranean Sea. It has a population of nearly 8,000. İztuzu beach, the beach of the Dalyan channel, is located where the channel reaches the sea. One of the features of İztuzu beach is that it is one of the shores where Caretta Carettas lay their eggs. The meticulous care and protection that the people of Dalyan show to the Caretta Caretta hatchlings is an exemplary behavior.
Although Dalyan does not have five-star hotel complexes, there are extremely well-maintained, stylish, and clean guesthouses suitable for accommodation. When you go to Dalyan, you must try the world-famous "blue crab". It is abundantly available in restaurants, with options for boiling and grilling.
The mullet, which comes to mind when Dalyan is mentioned, is also one of the most important delicacies to try. You should especially try the "big head" mullet, which is a type of grey mullet. If you have the local samphire, also known as "sülün", on the side, you will reach the peak of enjoyment.
The first place to see in Dalyan is the ancient city of Kaunos. You should also definitely see the rock-cut tombs carved into the mountains. You can take a tour on gondolas or boats in the channel and visit Delikli Island. For your health, you should take a "mud bath" and visit its world-famous healing hot springs to do yourself a favor for your health.
