Dalyan

Dalyan is situated midway between the larger resorts of Fethiye and Marmaris, each well worth an excursion as are the world famous Pamukkale and Ephesus sites and the nearby freshwater lake at Koycegiz.

At the Sultan Palas Hotel, we work with a local tour agency in Dalyan, to arrange these and other tours for guests, including the popular 12 island trip, to the beautiful bay of Fethiye, with several stops for swimming and snorkelling in the crystal clear waters. For those wishing to be independent, the Turkish national bus services are well renowned and very cheap, as are the frequent local dolmus buses.

Dalyan Village

Facing the ancient and unforgettable Lycian Rock Tombs, Dalyan is a small village where life for locals & tourists alike, revolves around the village square and waterfront area with its many small shops displaying a wide choice of goods. Market day is a must, with stalls filled with exotic spices, confectionery, leather, carpets and ceramics for those wishing to take home a taste of authentic Turkey. Nightlife centres on the variety of small bars and restaurants that can cater for the most discerning gourmet and river transport is provided for  guests of the Sultan Palas Hotel.

WALKING & BOATS
The entire region is a paradise for ramblers and bird watchers, with endless treks winding along the riverbanks, through the reed beds and up into the surrounding pine covered slopes. River boats are readily available from Dalyan village and provide an opportunity to head downstream to Iztuzu Beach or upstream to the renowned Thermal Baths or Lake Köycegiz and beyond.
