Life in Dalyan revolves around the River Dalyan, which flows past the town. Consequently, it's best known for its super clear water, and abundant opportunities for swimming, fishing, and diving—and boats are the preferred method of transport to many of the local sites. Like much of Turkey, Dalyan is rich in history, too. You can explore ancient ruins, eat traditional pancakes, and ride Rahvan horses, which originated in Turkey and are descended from ancient breeds.
