The Dalyan Delta is
one of the most amazing areas for birding in Turkey. The area has
vast wetlands, rivers, the 12km long Koycegiz Lake, cultivated fields,
mountains and both pine and deciduous forests. We are more than
happy to give detailed information to anyone interested in the wild
aspect of the Dalyan Delta as we hold this area extremely close
to our hearts.
The accommodation in
Dalyan is very inexpensive and so this makes Dalyan an ideal base
for your birding holiday or vacation in Turkey. See places.php
for accommodation.
We can also organise
personalised tours for groups
of birders. Please email
for more info.
