Due to its location at the tip of the peninsula the sea views are outstanding and one of the best places to watch a sunrise or sunset.
Lycian Rock Tombs
Dalyan is home to some of the most impressive Lycian Rock Tombs dating back to 400BC. The Rock tombs are carved into the cliff face and are best viewed from the Dalyan Delta.

There are other areas of Turkey with Lycian Rock Tombs however, Dalyan is certainly classed as some of the most impressive and should not be missed.
