| The
first things that come to mind when thinking of Dalyan are world-famous
Iztuzu Beach, the ancient city of Caunos, Lycian Rock Tombs, hot-water springs,
mud baths, and fish farms. Undoubtedly, the first thing to do is to see
Iztuzu beach. Iztuzu is one of the important breeding-grounds where the
caretta caretta sea turtles, which live in the Mediterranean and gradually
become extinct, lay their eggs. For this reason, Dalyan and its surroundings
have been proclaimed as special protected area. Iztuzu has got two beaches.
After an excellent 40-minute boat trip through the reeds, you reach at the
beach in the neck part. As you wish, you have a chance to swim in one side
of the beach in deep and fresh water of the lake or in the other side in
salt water. The other beach is located in the eastern part of the sands,
and reached by roads. Another place to see is the ancient city Caunos. In
the city, located on the opposite coast of Dalyan city center, there are
an acropolis (high city), a theatre for five thousands people, four temples,
an agora (bazaar), a Roman bath, churches dating back to the period of Christianity,
and famous rock tombs. The ancient city Caunos is the cynosure of both domestic
and foreign tourists.How about taking a one-mile boat trip from Dalyan towards
Koycegiz Lake and having a mud bath? The place, being the most attention-drawing
area after Iztuzu and Caunos in the recent years, has got catering facilities,
dressing rooms, and showers as well as pools of mud and thermal waters.
Mud baths are said to be healing for many diseases such as rheumatism, sciatica,
and herniated disk. Finally, we suggest you to add Ekincik and Bakardi bays
and Sultaniye thermal waters in your holiday! Being one of the most important
breeding-grounds where the caretta caretta sea turtles lay their eggs, the
beach is waiting for its sensitive visitors. You can fully experience these
beauties once coming to Paradise Holiday. |
