The most famous place in Dalyan is the mud baths. These can be visited by boat from the harbour. Further up the river is Sultaniye hot springs where you can bath in naturally hot spring water, then the 12 km long Köycegiz lake and the town of Köycegiz itself. Down river are the 2300 year old Lycian cliff tombs and the ancient city of Caunos, which is such a must to visit, before you wind your way to the beach. The beach is one of only a few nesting sites of the rare loggerhead turtles and is closed to the public after 8:00pm as after this is when the turtles arrive to come up and lay their eggs. Shopping in Dalyan is suprisingly good and Dalyan has its own market which is open every Saturday.
