A unique riverside town where stunning nature, ancient history and Turkish hospitality create an inspiring backdrop for cultural exchange.

Destination story

A place with its own rhythm.

Dalyan is a place of extraordinary natural beauty and historical significance, set on the tranquil Dalyan River. Famous for its ancient Lycian tombs carved into cliffsides and the nearby Iztuzu Beach, a protected nesting ground for loggerhead turtles, the town offers a serene yet culturally rich environment. Its relaxed atmosphere and stunning scenery provide a unique setting for cultural groups and performers.

For WOFA participants, Dalyan presents a remarkable opportunity to perform amidst breathtaking natural and historical wonders. The town's charm lies in its fusion of authentic Turkish culture with a peaceful, riverside setting, allowing groups to share their traditions in a location that is both inspiring and unforgettable. A visit offers a genuine taste of Türkiye’s Aegean coast.
