Dalyan

Wat te zien in Dalyan

The places to see in Dalyan are on the water and on history. A horseback tour is not a stop to look at, but a day to ride; yet it is still part of the same holiday. The rock walls are visible from the boat; there is a theater in the place of worship. After the tour, the farm is nearby on the same river. People sometimes point and say “we saw it” — the horse is not pointed at, it stays in the day.

Kaunos: theater, wall, ruins of a bath, cliff. The walls of the tombs are covered with water. In the afternoon, the stones get hot; in the morning or at noon, they are softer. İztuzu: sand, turtles, wind. During the nesting season, the night rules are stricter, and it is best to read the warnings of the day on the beach. Sultaniye and mud: boat, thermal, that smell. The deserted shore on the lake tour is a different sight; do not confuse it with İztuzu, both are beautiful, both are different waters.

Çandır: breakfast, the village road, the horses. Belde: evening, dinner, the canal light. A horse ride is not a stop to look at, it’s a day to ride. Three hundred metres after crossing the canal. If we have to choose, we’d rather do one slowly. The slow one is the one that’s most often told about on the way back.

Na Kaunos liggen de paarden aan dezelfde kant, op korte loopafstand. İztuzu hoort bij het strand en Sultaniye bij de thermale kust. Alles op één dag bekijken kan, maar rustig beleven is lastiger. Daarvoor is er een driedagenplan.
