Only a half hour drive from Dalaman airport lies Dalyan, a spectacular location where nature abounds everywhere and one of the most ideal destinations in Turkey. Located inland from the south west coast, between Marmaris and Fethiye it borders the Dalyan Cayi River and is a peaceful place unspoiled by mass tourism. Dalyan is a charming small town, originally a fishing and farming village, surrounded by unrivalled natural beauty with its gentle, wide, slow-flowing river to the famous Iztuzu Beach and overlooked by dramatic rock tombs, dating from 400 BC,  perched high up in the cliffs.
