Welcome to Kardak
Tourism. We pride ourselves in offering the best excursions
in and around Dalyan, and also organise transfers to and from
the airport. We are the main sponsors for the protection of
Dalyan’s environment. Keeping the Caretta Caretta turtle
nesting areas safe and the water ways clean are two of the
main projects we are involved in.
We are situated in the small town of Dalyan
in the province of Mugla on the South-Western Mediterranean.
Dalyan is set in the centre of a broad delta whose natural
beauty is completely unspoilt. This is one of the surviving
corners of paradise, an area of outstanding natural beauty
and historical interest.
The Dalyan Channel, through which water circulates
between the Mediterranean and Koycegiz Lake slowly meanders,
forming a network of small lakes and waterways through reed
beds rising to between 3 and 5 metres in height. (The journey
through this natural labyrinth is romantic and mysterious.)
With its mixture of fresh and salt water, these wetlands have
become home to vast numbers of fish and other water life,
as well as the birds of many species which feed on them. Dividing
the sea from the delta is the Iztuzu sandbar stretching for
5km east from the mouth of the channel. With its fine crystal
sand, shallow turquoise sea and abundant sunshine, Iztuzu
beach is the ideal seaside spot, perfect for swimming for
7 months of the year. It is this beach to which the endangered
Mediterranean turtle, Caretta Caretta, has returned year after
year to lay its eggs since time immemorial.
We hope you can join us on one of our many
tours and look forward to welcoming you to Dalyan.
