You two are GREAT ambassadors for turkey ! as soon as the COVID has finished, Turkey is definitely on my van tour ! The people seem so friendly and they deserve a lot of tourists to beautifull Turkey 👍🏼WELL DONE you two for promoting this so well it is an eye opener , maybe the turkey tourist board should help you more on your tours ❤️😁😎
We are from Australia. In 2017 we bought a house in Dalyan and have been visiting there every year since. It is such a special place. Cannot wait for the borders to reopen so we can return. Chris and Marianne you are doing such a great service to Turkey and Turkish people you should be commended. All the best for the rest of your journey.
You are so lucky to have been stuck in Turkey. Thank you for keeping in touch with Turkey until we can return. You are visiting many places I love but also introducing me to many different places.
You mentioned how clean the beach was - so let's give credit where credit is due. Years ago an initiative was started by a Dutch couple, Co and Maria Jonker that has taken a boatload of volunteers every Thursday for many years out to bag up trash on the beach, in the reeds, on the river and even in Dalyan. They have literally hauled away tons of discarded rubbish and in the process inspired greater responsibility from the locals - both Turkish and Yabancis to keep these areas far cleaner. They got the Belediye to provide a boat, large heavy duty trash bags and other needed materials - but it was Co and Maria that never gave up and kept the initiative alive and operating. Turkey has always had a big trash problem and the trash does not magically disappear - if not for the efforts - mainly of local volunteer expats and turkish residents and helpful Belediye the pristine nature on the coastal areas would still suffer.
How amazing is that ... they are clearly awesome people - we hope to go back in March ... maybe we could do a clean with them and share their story ? Kind regards Marianne
You can always come here sister our doors are open for every people with good soul , on the other hand our Country has many climates together so in my opinion you should visit atleast one city in every region like at summer Marmaris,Alanya,Dalyan etc. at spring İstanbul,İzmir,Kapadokya,GöbekliTepe etc. at autmn Bartın(a town at Amasra), Trabzon,Rize,Adana etc. at winter Sarıkamış,Uludağ,Palandöken,Isparta etc.
Now you can see why so many people visit Dalyan time and again.When I visit it is always such a special treat,it charges the batteries with so much beauty and nature.
We love Dalyan, the lake and Sultaniye! When open it is wonderful to be in hot springs/mud bath and then slip into the lake for a swim! The drive from there to Köyceğiz town is just beautiful! Or we take the nearby ferry over the river to Dalyan. If you love the tombs, stop off at Pinara (between Fethiye and Kalkan) it is an extraordinary site high in the mountains with views of snow capped mountains.
I’m so pleased that you got to experience Lake Köyceğiz. It is so peaceful and beautiful. Very atmospheric. The sky meets the calm, blue water and it’s often hard to see the join! One of my top destinations. Thank you for sharing this video in particular.
Loved watching this one, brought back some fantastic memories. Been in those mud baths a few times. I had to get hauled out last time, couldn't get out for laughing, the mud was so thick, really embarrassing ☺
What a beautiful video!!!!! In my head you are professional showing us Turkey and turkish people. Turkey needs promoting Turkey for us all. Turkish people work hard and deserve a better life. I miss Turkey and our turkish friends. Thank you Levent for showing us the beautiful Dalyan!
Love love love this one. I’m so glad you loved Dalyan. Boat trips are amazing both köyceğiz way and the beach way. Feels so much longer than 5 months since I was there and unsure about this year the way things are. So fortunate to have your videos to watch. Marianne and Chris keep doing what your doing your a great ambassador for tourism in turkey
I don't know if you are still in Dalyan, but there is a village hall where locals go to watch whirling dervishes, it's fascinating to watch. Probably not happening at the moment due to covid.

Locals never go watching whirling dervishes in Turkey. That's mostly for tourists except for a couple of specific places in whole Turkey and at specific dates.
Great vlog love dalyan always discover something new each visit it’s wonderful that you’ve enjoyed the beauty of this area as do we .. I always say it’s such a charming place beautiful scenery and has never lost its small village feel even though it’s quite a big place ..looking forward to returning there as soon as is possible take care and thanks for sharing

Levent he needs to be a tour guide for his full time job! Lol.. Showing you guys all the good spots! One of these days I want to make a trip to Italy and then Turkey!
Hi Guys we rearly enjoyed your Video of Dalyan, we have been going for the last twelve years & would definitely describe it as Turkey's jewel in the crown. We have now sold our house in the U. K. & will be buying our new home in Dalyan & retiring there once the flights start again later this year. Keep the videos coming we rearly enjoy them.
In a strange way you are fortunate to be there during these hard times to see this beautiful place without crowds and see the wildlife in peace. It’s a magical place from what you are showing us.
Hi,it is nce to watch my country from an English perspective. I am always waiting for your video at home because of the pandemic .I like it very much ,have a nice holiday .ALMANY DA SELAMLAR:
Lovely tour, thank you so much. I'm longing for that good food and a dip in the thermal bath to soothe my achy joints. You sure are meeting some of the nicest people along the way. Take care now, cheers
Am I the only one who would love to see daily videos like this? (I know it is impossible but still 😄) thank you very much guys for taking the time to share with us 🤗🤩🙏
Always ... as a matter of fact - I have a very nice dog that is sat with me as I type this answer LOL xx woo hoo xx Just lovely to have a furry friend stop by for dinner 💐😉💜
It is after midnight here and i am craving for a gözleme, you should have put some warning signs each time before eating, "beware of the delicious food content" so that we can skip those parts.
I love Mehmet’s boats trip. He is so happy and good at the Turkish dancing. Good fun and great food. Great boat trips. His boat just down from Rock tombs near Saki restaurant.
Nice to see that you appreciate nature and wildlife besides chickens, goats, cats & dogs 😁 Thank you for another great vlog and greetings to the friendly inhabitants of Dalyan!
Glad you enjoyed it ... I really need to brush up my birdlife appreciation skills as I saw so many birds and did not know what they were !! Marianne xx
Watching this video has made me realise I want to live in Dalyan. It’s spectacular; David Attenborough where are you? Beautifully filmed. Thank god for the turtles otherwise the area would be built up with hotels etc. I’ve been there twice and twice to the very same mud baths you walked around. Was great fun and it’s supposed to make you look younger, not that you both need to 😁😁. Thanks once again for a great video; stay safe xx
You are just so lovely... Watching someone swimming in the sen and you having boat trip on january , made me to feel warm in a cold İstanbul night. Although I've been to Dalyan 4 - 5 times, I wanted to be there again now
I was watching german masters snooker tour. Shaoun murphy&o'neil's match. But i closed tv now. Because i have to watch your beatifule vlog. We love you to much. Stay safe ⛪⛪⛪ ♥️♥️♥️♥️
thanks for reminding me about how beautiful that area was I was there 5 years ago with myself and my X I love the area I went to the mud baths travel on the lagoons also remember Humphrey Bogart was film there in a famous film also the best place for area for fresh fish from the river or the sea lots of Roman history there also the beach for the turtles Road liners is always renowned as a place to see in general I did enjoy myself as I said and the food was so amazing how do I say thanks for sharing your special moments with me xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thank you Marianne and Chris another wonderful video of Turkey this is one of my favourite places you've been to so far, waiting for Lockdown to finish in UK so can explore Turkey!!
Both videos in Dalyan are wonderful, magic. I lived and worked in Fethiye for 5 years and went to Dalyan with guests many times but never knew there was the fabulous ruins and never got to see Dalyan properly. Thank you .
We went to Dalyan many years ago. We were told by the captain of the boat on the Dalyan river that part of the filming of "The African Queen" was filmed there. The part where Humphrey Bogart is pulling The African Queen through the reed beds. Great vlog.
I'm sure you're more than ready to continue on your world trip, but I'm really kind of glad events happened as they did to keep you exploring Turkey! I'd never have thought there was so much beauty and intriguing places to venture there, as it always seemed to be just so much desert and scrubland. Turkey's been just an incredibly lovely discovery! Thank you for taking us into the heart of it! Lynn
Thanks Lynn - it certainly has been the best situation for us in the world situation - we are so happy to be here and share the beauty and friendship - we will miss it when we leave - but the challenge must go on and we will share the adventure as and when it happens - woo hoo - we are so glad you have enjoyed the videos xx
Thanks guys for all the info and inspiration - including all the hard work filming and editing! We will definitely make a trip to turkey - can you PLEASE, PLEASE find out from some of the locals you meet up with if campervans and wild camping is allowed or tolerated during the shoulder and peak season... I am pretty sure quite a few van travellers to would appreciate this info.
Had a holiday booked to Kos town years ago, flight company went bust... Offered Us a holiday to Ölüdeniz, our first taste of Turkey, we loved it! Then we found Icmeler the next time.. Been to Cyprus a few years ago...but there Is just something About Turkey I cannot shake..If I won the lottery I would move there, simple as that!
Very nice episode ! And new style. But plz go back for Marmaris and içmiler, most focus for the beachs, islands, mountains, and alot. You did't very quickly. With all respect
Merhaba....gerçekten muhteşemsiniz....sizi ÇAYLAK İHTİYAR RU-vid kanal'da gördüm ve takip etmeye başladım.Bu yolculuğunuzda tüm güzellikler sizinle olsun.Fethiye'den başlayan LİKYA YOLU rotasını yürümeyi unutmayın,pişman olmayacaksınız.İstanbul'dan sevgilerimi gönderiyorum.Yolunuz açık olsun.Bye:=)
I saw on Facebook that you have met Mike AMCA 'Mike Uncle ' too :) Nice videos well done. Enjoy there in Pandemi we don't have opportunity to travel cities.
Wow must get there...in our MOHO.Last time there Sue and Me on a gullet boat cruise...fantastic..thanks do much...just hope we can ever be allowed as now have all the time in the world for our lifelong dream!!
Dalyan is amazing, lots to see, lovely atmosphere both day & night. Peaceful in the day but I WENT IN SEPT one year so I would suggest in warmer weather for swimming/mud baths etc for the boat trips in these mths.. sitting on the harbour with a drink, watching the boats go by, soaking up the sun 👌🏽 Just came across your video's.. catching up with them all... WISH THEY WERE NUMBERED so I know which order they were recorded in!!
Hey Sev and welcome to Tread the Globe 😀 Yes we loved Dalyan such a lovely place. The easiest way to watch the videos in order is to go onto our youtube channel at the top of the home page you will see a videos tab. If you click this at the top you can sort by newest, oldest and most popular. They are also numbered in the video description but much easier to sort them all in order -hope that helps - Chris
Hi - yes as digital nomads it is a big expense that we have to be able to connect on the road so feel your pain !! Due to the pandemic we were contacted by a Turkish company who have supplied us with free internet - but before and when we leave Turkey - we have a wifi hotspot box that we put local sims into as we travel and change countries 🙌🚐 - if you need more details you can email me (address on the website) xx Marianne
