Private luxury yacht experience in Bodrum

Dalyan-joen risteily sisältäen lounaan ja Iztuzun rannan

Luonnonkauneuden ympäröimä jokiristeily Dalyanista on loistava tapa rentoutua. Vierailet yhdellä Turkin koskemattomimmista rannoista ja matkan varrella pysähdyt mutakylvyissä ja lounaalla jokirantaravintolassa. Ceren, yksi paikallisista oppaistamme, kertoo: "Iztuzun ranta tunnetaan myös nimellä Turtle Beach, koska uhanalaiset valekarettikilpikonnat pesivät täällä. Rannalle aiottiin rakentaa uusia hotelleja 1980-luvulla, mutta onneksi suojelu asetettiin etusijalle."Purjehdi Dalyan-jokea pitkin ympäristöystävällisellä veneellä, joka ei vahingoita merielämää, ja levitä ikääntymistä hidastavaa savea ihollesi saapuessasi mutakylpyyn. On sanottu, että jopa Kleopatra kävi hemmottelemassa ihoaan mineraalirikkaassa mudassa. Uppoudu lopuksi lämpimään rikkialtaaseen, ennen kuin risteilet joella ja nautit paikallisista ruokalajeista koostuvan lounaan. Sen jälkeen pääset tutustumaan hieman historiaan ja kulttuuriin, kun seilaat jokilaivalla kallioihin kaiverrettujen lyykialaisten kalliohautojen ohi, jotka ovat peräisin vuodelta 400 eaa.Kun joki laajenee laguuniksi, sinulla on aikaa bongailla lintuja, ennen kuin saavut Iztuzun rannalle. Tämä neljän kilometrin pituinen vuorten suojassa oleva ranta, joka erottaa joen merestä, on todellinen turvapaikka villieläimille. Vietä iltapäivä rannalla rentoutuen ennen paluuristeilyä takaisin Dalyaniin.
