A hidden treasure that I would like to keep a secret, if it were not for the fact that it has been discovered by now. Still a beautiful setting, with it's meandering river, leading to a beach were turtles lay their eggs. Graves of great antiquity line the rocks along the river, and the village itself is idyllic. And nearby the antique town on a hill of Kaunos that is well worth a visit and, after an almost obligatory climb up that hill, provides great views of Dalyan.

In 2018 I scanned old slides again, and edited them. The results I put in place of older edits, I think colours are better and details more visible.


DALYAN

Dalyan, gizli bir hazine. Şimdiye kadar keşfedilmemiş olsaydı, orayı bir sır olarak saklardım. Yine de, kaplumbağaların yumurtalarını bıraktıkları bir sahile doğru kıvrılarak akan nehriyle hoş bir atmosferi var. Olağanüstü tarihi mezarlar, nehir boyunca uzanan kayaları kaplıyor; köyün kendisi de rüya gibi.
