Dalyan is a unique town located between the districts of Marmaris and Fethiye on the southwest coast of Turkey. Praised for its amazing weather, turquoise waters, and known for having one of the “Top 10 beaches in the world”, it is the country’s secret gem.

This incredible town is definitely worth a visit.
