Kingfisher 1 Tours is based in Dalyan – a town in the Muğla Province of Turkey. Life in Dalyan revolves around the Dalyan Çayı River, which flows past the town. The boats that ply up and down the river, navigating the maze of reeds, are the preferred means of transport to the local sites such as Köyceğiz Lake and Iztuzu Beach.
Dalyan means fishing weir in Turkish. Sea bass, mullet and sea bream swim upstream from the sea to Köyceğiz Lake where another large town of the region, Köyceğiz, is located. The fish spawn there, and when returning to the sea they are caught in the “dalyans”.
