Dalyan

Sultan Palas Hotel - October 2008

 

The holiday of 2008 has to be the one to Dalyan in Turkey. Staying at the lovely Sultan Palas Hotel, we at first got a feeling of being cut off from the real world as we needed to use the hotel boat to get into the town - we first visited Dalyan 12 years ago on a trip from Olu Deniz and it was then a village - but the boat ran at pre-determined times and you could call the hotel at any other time you wanted to use the boat to either pick you up from the jetty or go to or from Dalyan.

The hotel was brilliant but then it is really the people that make a holiday special (both staff and guests) and in a hotel which has 26 rooms with only a few of the rooms occupied leading up to the end of the season it was brilliant. There were 12 guests who all got on together - even on one occasion going to a restuarant (Ley Ley) to lunch together.

The following pictures show the hotel and the surrounding area:
