Dalyan is a town in Muğla Province in Turkey, located between the well-known districts of Marmaris and Fethiye on the south-west coast of Turkey, and which depends the district of Ortaca administratively. Dalyan achieved international fame in 1986, when developers wanted to build a luxury hotel on the nearby İztuzu beach, a breeding ground for the endangered loggerhead sea turtle species. A major international storm blew up, with David Bellamy championing the cause of the conservationists. The development project was stopped and the beach is now a protected area.
