Our Story

From the Bustle of Istanbul to the Serenity of Dalyan

A year ago, we made a life-changing decision. We packed our bags, left behind the non-stop hustle of Istanbul, and moved our family to the tranquil embrace of Dalyan. Why, you ask? Well, have you ever felt the need to hit the pause button on life? To trade the noise and stress for a place where time seems to slow down, where you can truly breathe? That’s exactly what we did.

Living in a big city like Istanbul had its perks—no doubt about that. But as time went on, the fast-paced life started to wear us down. The traffic, the crowds, the constant rush—it all became too much. We wanted something different, something more meaningful. That’s when Dalyan came into the picture. A place where the river winds through lush greenery, where ancient ruins whisper stories from the past, and where the sea turtles casually swim up to say hello.

Now, we wake up to the sound of birds instead of honking cars. We work from home, yes, but now "home" is a place where we can step outside and be surrounded by nature’s beauty. And let me tell you, there’s nothing quite like ending a workday with a stroll along the river or a sunset at Iztuzu Beach.

But Dalyan isn’t just a place for us to live—it’s a place we want to share with you. That’s why we started Dalyandelights.com. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about this little slice of paradise. We’ll take you on a journey through Dalyan’s natural wonders, introduce you to the best spots to eat and stay, and share stories from the locals who make this town so special.

So, what do you think? Ready to trade in the city lights for starlit nights? To experience a different pace of life, one that’s richer, calmer, and more connected to nature? If so, join us as we explore all the delights Dalyan has to offer. We promise, it’s a journey worth taking.
