Köycegiz
| Now a
nature and wildlife preserve, this area is a real paradise with its rare
and beautiful setting, and with a history going back to 3500
BC. The town centre, positioned on the lakeside is unlike any
holiday resort. The population is balance summer and
winter. Only on Mondays when there is a large market do you
get an influx of both, Turks from the surrounding villages and tourists
who, often arrive by boat. For those seeking peace and quiet
it is an ideal destination any season.
The Lake of Köycegiz is described as "as smooth as glass" till noon and suitable for wind surfing in the afternoon. It contains almost every kind of seafood including crab and crab. You can take a trip by boat to Dalyan over the lake and through the natural labyrinth like channel, walled with reeds which leads to the sea. Or if you prefer by the road which is lined with perfumed frankincense trees. |

The Dalyan Delta is a unique site, lying peacefully with its golden beach at Istizu, otherwise known as Turtle Beach. Caretta caretta sea turtles and blue crabs live here. Shopping in Dalyan is surprisingly good and Dalyan has its own market which is open every Saturday. On the other side of the channel is the marvellous view of the ancient city of Caunos, which was situated on the border between Caria and Lycia and was an important sea-port. |
