A WORD FROM YOUR HOST

I’ve been coming to Dalyan since 2007, and almost instantly I fell in love with this piece of paradise. The area is stunning and the people are so friendly and helpful. In 2013 my husband and I decided to buy a piece of land and build a villa. By 2014 we had our first guests staying in Villa Claddagh. Dalyan is situated on a beautiful delta on the South West coast of Turkey, just 25 minutes from Dalaman airport. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Iztuzu BeachThe beach at Dalyan is shared by tourists and the famous loggerhead turtles. The tourist part of the beach is reached by taking one of the many public boats from the centre of town. The journey takes about 30 minutes and goes through the Dalyan Delta, which has some of the most stunning scenery in Turkey, including views of the the ancient city of Kaunos, which dates back to the 10th century BC.

The nearest airport is Dalaman which is 25-30 minutes away by bus or taxi. The town of Dalyan is pretty small and everything is within easy walking distance so car hire is not necessary. There are plenty of river boats, taxis and buses to take you to the beach or to any of the nearby towns.

The market towns of Koycegiz and Ortaca are a short distance from Dalyan by bus. Koycegiz is also accessible by river boat through Koycegiz lake. The larger resorts of Fethiye and Olu Deniz are a 50 minute drive away. Marmaris is about 75 minutes drive. Rhodes is also accessible by ferry from Marmaris.
