April 24 – Dalyan River Cruise

Today is a six-hour transfer between towns.  Per usual there are places to stop in route which really helps break up the long drives.

Today we stopped in Dalyan for a cruise…

this one went along the river to Lake Kӧyceğiz…

with its cormorants.

There were some great Lycian Tombs in the hillside along the canal.

and then back past Dalyan to İztuzu Beach.

From a distance we were vaguely able to see some of the ruins of the ancient city of Kaunos (Paul commented that all of their cities are ancient).

After the cruise we had lunch at a restaurant at the launch point. 

Then it was on to Bodrum where we will be spending three nights.
