History of Dalyan

      The rock tombs, that are seen from Dalyan were carved in 4th century BC and used in the Roman Era. In the course of time, Kaunos had been abandoned since the port became useless because of the alluvion that blocked the way to the sea, and malaria that took place afterwards.

    Dalyan's water sources make up the beautiful habitat with a large variety of spieces.  Famous blue crabs and Nile turtles are Dalyan Canal's most lovely residants. Caretta Carettas at the Iztuzu beach, nest into the beach and lay their eggs there.

    Dalyan is home to lots of bird species, like kingfisher, hawk and beebird. Birdwatching is very popular.  Sweetgum trees growing here are famous for its oil and this oil is usually used in cosmetics.

     Mud baths are very popular and provides us with minerals alongside Sultaniye Thermals which back at the time were visited by the Ottoman Sultans, are only 20 minutes distance by boat.  Each season is beautiful but special praise to the scent of citrus flowers and later in the season pomegranate trees flourish and pomegranates are ripe enough to pick from the trees as well as oranges, lemons and mandarins.

Why wait to book a vacation to this slice of paradise , you can not fault it.

 

 

History About Dalyan

The Lycian ancient Rock Tombs carved in 4th Century BC and used in Roman Era in Dalyan are the major highlights which side the banks of Dalyan River. Dalyan River origins from Köyceğiz lake and flows right down to the Dalyan River where salt water sea greets the river where it creates a Delta.Dalyan is one of the world’s awe inspiring natural heritage . Not only does it offer beautiful serenity with spectacular views but also a summer resort on the lap of an ancient Lycian historical sight.

It has been allegedly believed that the Rock Tombs were made for kings and important people in the era expecting to be close to the God.

Within the architechture of Rock Tombs nest triangular upper facade which are carried by the columns, and the Rock-cut tombs are the major attraction points appearing as the parts of the chamber and burial chamber with the steps of the tomb chamber.

As a port city, with the development of Dalyan Delta , village has been distanced from the sea shore. This is why Kaunos nests 8 km away from the shore.

Kaunos ancient city built in BC 200, receives its name from Kaunos , the son of Miletos. During antique century, Kaunos had been a port city , derived its industry from salt production and its trade.

Although Rock Tombs are inaccessible now, visitors can easily witness these amazing carvings accross the Dalyan river on a simple boat trip within a peaceful setting. It has been agreed that whoever visits Dalyan once , cannot stop themselves from returning year after year.
