Dalyan is a town in Mugla Province located between the districts of Marmaris and Fethiye on the south-west coast of Turkey. The town is an independent municipality, within the administrative district of Ortaca.

Dalyan achieved international fame in 1987 when developers wanted to build a luxury hotel on the nearby Iztuzu beach, a breeding ground for the endangered loggerhead sea turtle species. The incident created major international storm when David Bellamy championed the cause of conservationists such as June Haimoff, Peter Günther, Nergis Yazgan, Lily Venizelos and Keith Corbett. The development project was temporarily stopped after Prince Philip called for a moratorium and in 1988 the beach and its historical port were declared a protected area, Köycegiz Dalyan Special Environmental Protection Area.

Life in Dalyan revolves around the Dalyan River which flows past the town. The boats that run up and down the river, navigating the maze of reeds, are the preferred means of transport to local sites.

DALYAN is 30 km from DALAMAN International Airport, One hour away from MARMARIS and one hour away from FETHIYE.
