Dalyan Travel Guide: 138 reviews and 302 photos

DALYAN,................ the name, means "Fishing Weir",
The River Dalyan flows through the Town.

Fishing is very important to the Local economy and a new Weir has been built on the river, together with a Fish Processing Plant where Red Roe Caviar is processed.

Lots of local fish can be enjoyed at local Restaurants.

Dalyan

The threatened Loggerhead Turtle resides at breeding time on the Beach not far from Dalyan town.

Luckily, this area is now protected and the beach is closed at night to protect these animals.

Dalyan River

My visit to Dalyan was a full day tour from Marmaris.

It included the usual sights of the Mud Baths, Delta, Tombs, Beach and more.........................

It was an area that was pretty and if I had more time, probably would have enjoyed spending a little more of it here.

Pros and Cons

Pros:A very pretty area
In a nutshell:Need more than a day to visit

Last visit to Dalyan: May 2009
