Dalyan is a small and lovely resort town located on the left bank of the Dalyan River (Dalyan Çayi), a stream that meanders through the reeds from Köyçeyiz Lake down to the sea. The lake narrows into a channel, flowing into the Dalyan river which empties into the sea at Iztuzu beach, one of Turkey's most spectacular beaches. This beach has been made a protected area as the breeding-ground of the Caretta Caretta which are a species of sea turtles...
Calis is situated 5 km by road from the centre of Fethiye and is one of the most striking residential and recreational centres in the region. 'A place to watch sunsets' is how some visitors to the area describe Calis and the views across the bay are certainly stunning, especially as the day draws to a close.
