Hello everyone!

Some say winter came early this year, judging the

rainy days in the last week of October. And some

claim we will have a more severe winter due to the

climate change. Will we?

As an outdoor company with an environmentalist

mindset, we do all we can not to contribute to the

overall destruction going on. Rather, we promote

outdoor activities so as to raise awareness about

what environmental resources and sites we have

around Dalyan. Because we believe if you visit a

place and live it with joy, you would give more

value to it and protect it against any threats.

There was the same reasoning behind the move to

stop the Yuvarlakçay hydro-electric powerplant this

past winter following the Forestry´s tree cutting at

the river source. Thanks to all who know how a

wonderful place Yuvarlakçay is and their support

has contributed to the outcome: the Court has

declared an immediate cessession of all works, the

Company has pulled out; still a final decision by

Court is pending, but at least for now Yuvarlakçay

flows as before...

Enjoy November!

Ekincik is one of the few unspoiled places left near

Dalyan. There is no bridge over the Dalyan river

and that is one of the main reasons why the village

has remained relatively «quiet». If you want to get

to Ekincik from Dalyan, you need to contour Lake

Köycegiz via Köycegiz town and Sultaniye village.

But there´s a short cut: 9 km, on foot!

Our Ekincik walk is a pleasant one as it combines a

moderate trek through the woods in the morning

with a relaxed snorkelling boat trip in the

afternoon. It takes about 3,5 hours to walk the 9-

km route with an elevation gain of about 300 m.

Once on the beach at the end, the snorkelling boat

picks the hikers up, offers a good lunch on board,

then stops a few times in the bay for swimming and

snorkelling before getting back to Dalyan via the

reeds canal.

The typical village life at Çandir, scenic views of

Rock Tombs, Kaunos, Dalyan delta, Ekincik bay

and swimming and relaxing on secluded beaches are

some of the highlights. Ekincik walk is offered a

minimum twice a week.

Do you suffer from huge electricity bills

of your house in Dalyan? Kaunos Villas is

ready to help.

There is now SistemLed-135, which is a

wireless motion sensor that shuts off a/c

units remotely based on no motion inside

the room. Another bright idea is to

change those expensive, short-life 300-

watt pool lights with SistemLed LED lights,

which consume only 1 watt and last

almost forever!
