  1. A

    Caretta Caretta

    Also designed by Nail Çakırhan, this place does delicious Turkish dishes (such as bonfile ve tavuk cığerli börek - beef fillet with chicken livers baked in puff pastry) at pleasing prices. With a number of tables on the riverbank and the wooden platform above the water, you have a fair chance of bagging one. It's a great place also for a beer.

    Riverside Restaurant

    Considered Dalyan's best fish restaurant, the Riverside also boasts a gorgeous and breezy terrace where you can dine under mulberry trees while admiring the Lycian tombs and listening to the quack of ducks. The owner, an ex-head chef who still does his own cooking, offers exquisite seafood and fish accompanied by his own special sauces. The stuffed fish is a speciality.

    Kösk

    This little place in the centre of Dalyan's high street is the busiest eatery in Dalyan, thanks to its home-style meze (TL4) and grilled dishes. There are tables in a little forecourt from where you can watch the evening parade.

    Dalyan İz

    This excellent new addition to Dalyan's social scene is an art gallery and shop as much as a garden cafe. It's hugely popular with local expats and a great source of information.

    Chinatown

    OK, it ain't going to win any culinary awards but if you (like us) need the occasional fix of Asian-style rice and/or noodles (TL6 to TL13), this British-owned eatery can assist. There's a good choice of vegetarian dishes too.

    Beyaz Gül

    Just about the classiest place in town, the 'White Rose' boasts a gorgeous and breezy terrace where you can dine while admiring the cliff-top tombs and listening to background jazz. And it caters to everyone: there's a play area for the kids, nargileh (water pipe) for the lads and ladettes, and stylish decor for the discerning.
