saw this beautiful scene.

We made plans there for a boat tour the next morning.
This reminded me a little of scenes of Guilin area in China.

 Below are tables by the river.   At first, I thought the rock tombs across were not real, but an emulation; however, they're the actual ones that draw people to Dalyan.
First (good!) Dalyan dinner, at fantastic Beyaz (Gul?) with views
of rock tombs across the river, lit at night.

 This was with excellent service in a top location (right across from the main attraction).   We just happened on the place and couldn't believe our good luck.
Great food, still cooking at our tables, very
reasonably priced, at $9 each.

Returned to UK today after 1 week holiday in Dalyan. Travelled the same time and area last year. Prices have increased more than we expected. We noticed more younger people who had been told by their tour operators they were going to Marmaris. They thought the area too quiet but we thougth it just right. The bar owners play the muic louder to make them spend more. They will never come back again because they will go to Marmaris.
We are being put off because we like Dalyan not Marmaris.
Has anyone noticed they charge you more if you say you are going home home that day?

Dear Turkiyeans,

I was humbly captivated and mesmerisely awestruck by the beauty of your country.
God spend more time and sprinkled more moon dust (gold) to create such beautiful nature and sorroundings to be admired (especially me), and others. Very, very historic, I can never get enough of your country and it itched deeply in my heart... I was so fortunate to have seen such beauty, 2002 and 2004. I am planning to be back in the midyear of 2009. Retrace my footsteps through Ankara, Ismer, Bodrum, etc, etc. The Bazaar, Istanbul Sultanahmet, oh, too many to mention...

I would love to relocate and live in your country forever. Is there any possibility for me to accomplish this dreams???

God made your country so magnificently, extraordenarily beautiful...God sprinkled
more moon dust (gold) and spend more time creating such a beautiful nature
to be admired by us. I am awestruck by the beauty of the sorroundings and the
people that lives there. My heart beats faster and faster for the longing to live
and be one of the citizen of Istanbul, Turkey.

I am from San Francisco, California USA, and I am very fortunate to see your beloved country twice, 2002 and 2004. I am planning go back middle of the year
2009. You captured my heart that I am willing to relocate and stay for good.

Jonathan,
You may have remembered someone else's site as I never had aerial
pics of Dalyan. Mainly enjoyed wonderful boat trips there. I did take
photos from a hot balloon, of Cappadocia though (also in Turkey).

Where are your wonderful aerial pics of Dalyan? - really great when last I looked
Guest 05-Jan-2006 05:13
I feel as though Dalyan is part of my heart and soul... it tends to stick with people forever once they visit
