DALYAN RIVER TRIP
From Marmaris we spent one night in a small bay outside Marmaris town and then sailed east along the coast to Ekincik. Here we left the boat on the quay and took a trip up the Dalyan river in a small motor boat. Went via this cave on the coast.
Early season so we had the boat to ourselves! A good day, picnic en route.
The blue crabs that are well known round here. This is one they had caught on the jetty but we had seen them in the shallows on the beach.
Turtles spotted by the jetty.
Up the Dalyan river which was like a maze of reed beds.

Next stop up river was the ancient town of Caunos and into the amphitheatre.
Further up river, opposite the town of Dalyan, are these rock tombs carved out of the cliffs.
The "gateway" in the river which they have lowered to let us through but close again to preserve the fish population.
On our way back we collected our blue crab, prepared, cooked and ready to eat. Very nice!
