Rent from owners direct in Dalyan

We are Alison and Paul, married for 40 years, we came to Dalyan in 1998 for our 25th Wedding aniversary. Fell in love with the place, both with busy careers visited about twice per year. With concerns about the UK stock market we took the plunge and invested in land in Dalyan in 2004 and had our Villa Zeytin Koru drafted and built in 2005. We have not looked back since. The villa was often fully booked so in 2007 we opened our second villa Orkide. Now retired from our jobs we really enjoy running our two holiday villas and get to Dalyan as often as we can. Our first grandson had his first birthday there and our youngest daughter had a Turkish wedding in the garden of Zeytin Koru.

I am a recently retired Chartered Surveyor having spent the bulk of my career working for the Inland Revenue. The Villa was purchased so that we could spend 6 months of the year in Turkey, avoiding the worst of the British winter and 6 months of the year in the UK. The villa is not therefore a "holiday home" but is furnished and maintained as our home, all of our previous renters have remarked on how welcoming it is because of this very reason.

Hi, I'm Katrina. My husband and I had Villa Lords built in 2019 after many years of visiting the beautiful Dalyan. Dalyan is family friendly and still unspoilt. No all inclusive hotels, just local businesses. Catch the boat along the river to the lovely beach or relax by the pool. Spoilt for choice!

Hello my name is Alan Thomas I live in a small village near Cambridge UK. We never imagined we would have a house in Turkey but we had our first visit in 2008 and fell in love with the area. We both enjoy the Dalyan environment as much today as we did on our first visit in summer of 2008. What struck us about Dalyan is the combination of lovely things in the area. Mountain backdrops, the excellent world renowned beach, conservation area, ancient historical sites, the river flowing from the huge lake to the sea, to name but a few. All these natural environments are complimented by the lovely nature of the local people who really want you to have an enjoyable time. We chose to have it built just a 20 min stroll from the town in a well respected area called Arikbasi known for its peacefulness in what still is a working agricultural landscape. I have an excellent local manager who also runs his own delightful family owned restaurant. We will look after you .

My name is Karen Mc Erlean and I live in Ireland with my husband and 3 daughters. I love the sun but my husband is not a big fan (or at least wasn't!). However, when I finally talked him into coming to Dalyan he realised that the heat here is so comfortable because of the low humidity. After his first visit he went home and within a year we built Villa Claddagh. I've been coming to Dalyan since 2007 and almost instantly fell in love with this piece of paradise and its people. The area is stunning and the people are so friendly and helpful. My husband and I decided in 2013 to build a villa and the result was Villa Claddagh, which was completed in early 2014. Villa Claddagh is very close to all of the main shops and restaurants. Its just a 5 minute walk away. We're just 5 minutes from the local kids park and 3 minutes from Dalyan River. The villa offers beautiful views of Lycian rock tombs and the Kaunos acropolis. The entertainment options in the villa include a 42" Smart TV, a hard disk with over 400 HD movies, and a very good Internet connection. Dalyan is situated on a beautiful delta on the South West coast of Turkey, just 25 minutes from Dalaman airport.

I love to see new places to visit. The sea, forest and history must be where I live. For that reason , I love the town Dalyan, a unique destination packed with culture, history, natural beauty and unprecedented hospitality.
