Koycegiz,
Dalyan and Gocek
Caunos
The town of
Koycegiz lies at the northern end of a lake of the same name and is joined
to the Mediterranean by a natural channel. This unique environment is
being preserved as a nature and wildlife sanctuary. A road shaded with
aromatic frankincense trees eads to the tiny village of Dalyan on the
inland waterway. The maze of channels is easily exploret by boat as you
immerse yourself in this tranquil dream world. The restaurants which line
tne waterways specialize in delicious meals of fresh fish. High on the
cliff face, at a bend in the river,above the fascinating ancient harbor
city of Caunos, magnificent tombs were carved into the rock. The Dalyan
Delta, with a long, golden sandy beach at its mouth,is a nature
conservation area and a refuge for sea turtles (Caretta Caretta) and blue
crabs.
