  AKYAKA & DALYAN
  Turkey is an eclectic mix of dramatic scenery, amazing food and a deep history.
  A visit to Turkey almost always inspires comment about the hospitality, maybe because the Turkish people believe a visitor is a gift from God.
  A trip to Turkey will almost definitely inspire you to return.
  You’ll be following in the footsteps of many a famous person from ancient history.
  The South West coast of Turkey offers the perfect climate for your holiday, boasting over 280 dry days a year and an average June temperature of 28C in Dalyan and Akyaka, with sea temperatures of 23 degrees Celsius.
  The Carian’s once ruled this coast and there are lots of signs of their existence, such as rock tombs and the ancient riverside city of Caunos that sits opposite Dalyan.
  An area surrounded by pine trees, which are believed by locals to clean the air and increase the oxygen levels.
  The area is favoured by beekeepers for honeymaking and you will see many of the traditional blue beehives, and a few bees, in the area.
  Modern Dalyan is a small resort on the river’s edge.
  Tourists enjoy the small wooden boat trips chugging along to the Iztuzu beach, maybe stopping at one of the sulphur mud baths, for a somewhat rudimentary beauty treatment and some one-off photos for the holiday album.
  The river has a great view of the rock tombs and has much wildlife along the reedbeds.
  The Istuzu beach is where the endangered loggerhead turtles come to lay their eggs.
  The beach caught international interest in the 80’s when David Bellamy and fellow environmentalist stopped a hotel development.
  Today it’s a conservation area and at the far end of the beach, there is a turtle rescue centre you can visit.
  Dalyan has lots of restaurants, bars and a selection of gift shops.
  Dalyan has a local market on a Saturday, which has an amazing selection of fruit and vegetables.
  You should take the opportunity to enjoy breakfast at the water’s edge in nearby Gokbel.
  Slightly further out is the village of Beyobasi, where you can enjoy a trout meal in a restaurant cooled by the fast running waters, just off of the main Dalaman-Akyaka road.
  The Koycegiz lake is at the other end of the river.
  The small town of Koyceyiz is perched on the side of the lake.
  The small bazaar gives the idea Koycegiz was once more important than Dalyan, thus probably the best day to visit is Monday when the weekly market is in town.
  Try one of the restaurants on the edge of the lake for lunch.
  If you’ve driven, don’t forget to stop at one of the fruit stalls on the road side, plying a healthy mix of orange & pomegranate juice.
  The Sultaniye Hot Springs sit on the south-west shore the lake.
  The hot mud pools contain mineral waters that are rich in chloride, sodium, hydrogen sulphide and bromide.
  There are even rudimentary cabins that some braver souls come to stay & take the waters.
  Akyaka sits where the Kadın Azmak river joins the sea.
  Enjoying a Turkish breakfast or fish lunch at one of the many restaurants it is difficult to imagine anything disturbing the peace.
  Ducks and geese jostle for bread, fish swim past and bright green reeds wave in the slow-moving water, fed by cooler waters from the mountains above.
  Favoured by local day trippers from nearby Bodrum and Denizli, who gather on Akyaka’s wide sandy beach with shallow water meaning you can go a way out and the water is only up to your waist.
  In recent years, Akyaka has become Turkey’s centre for kitesurfing and you’ll see all the kites in the sky, above the beach on the head of the gulf.
  There are several schools so if you fancy a go.
  Contact them beforehand, so you can get booked in as it is particularly popular during the holidays and weekends.
  Akyaka is a member of the cultural Cittaslow organisation, recognising its connection with tradition.
  The local architecture of wooden balconies and white walled houses with terracotta roof tiles, bow thanks to 70’s architect Nail Çakırhan.
  The coast up from here has lots of small bays where you can swim and sunbathe, just drive through the forest and along the coast road to find them.
  Akyaka has a local market on Wednesday, or visit the huge very Turkish market in Mugla, which is the administrative centre of the area.
  In recent years Mugla has expanded as it’s university has gained popularity, but the centre still shows architectural signs of its Italian occupation last century.
  For Turks, breakfast is a key meal, and you see family groups enjoying a feast late morning.
  Other than the riverside restaurants who serve a hearty feast, go to Sakartepe, at the top the mountain has the most amazing panoramic views.
  The area is surrounded by ine
