Dalyan

Dalyan: Across the river from Çınar Pansiyon where we are staying you can see tombs carved into the cliffside, which are apparently common throughout the area. At night they light them up and they look Halloween-esque.

The Pansiyon was run by a Turkish couple who rented us one of their boats. Piloted by the owners father we putt-putted our way down the river to see ruins, a disappointing turtle watch, and an amazing beach.

More ruins! An ancient church from around the 500s B.C. near Dalyan.

The breakthaking beach on a sand spit between the Aegean Sea and the river. The sand is extremely soft and clean and the water is a beautiful, clear, warm, (SALTY!) tropical blue. Dad and Hannah swam to the island to the right.

The view from the other side of the beach looking at the harbor on the backside up towards the river that goes past Dalyan.
