Turkey Road trip Day 4 Marmaris, Fethiye by Life Travel Pepper HD

Day 4 This morning we thought of getting up early to enjoy the beach near the hotel, but it was a bit windy…so we just appreciated the giant breakfast that the host offered , full of fresh local fruits and vegetables, and got on the way, outlining the beautiful Marmaris coast. On our way to Dalyan, we stopped at Lake Koycegiz, such an idyllic place, involved by the brume of the light rain that started falling at that minute. Having an area of 5200 hectares, Lake Köyceğiz is one of the vastest coastal lakes of Turkey. It is connected to the Mediterranean through a narrow and reedy channel called "Dalyan" which flows by a township of the same name (Dalyan). Driving around we got at Yuvarlakçay, a beautiful place, overgrown of large trees and lots of water, where we could sit and drink something on top of cozy small spaces suspended on the streamlet. There, we became passionate by the swing that could take us high above the natural pool and feel so free and connected to mother nature. At the middle of the afternoon we arrived at the town of Dalyan, an elegant place, garnished by the glowing Dalyan river that wind up the village. Here we got the opportunity of catching a small boat and cross the river to watch closer the Kings Rock Tombs e the ancient city of Kaunos. The Kings Rock Tombs are magnificent carved tombs into the sides of hilltops and mountains, a resting place for prominent members of Lycian society, who were buried with their most treasured possessions that would accompany them into the afterlife. No doubt, overlooking the river, the six famous rock tombs are picture postcards of Dalyan. Back on the road we were lucky enough to stop at the Sulungur Lake shore and watch one of the most beautiful sunsets we´ve ever seen (and we live at Azores :=
