Dalyan Rescue Ranch
Where Every Heart Matters
Dalyan Rescue Ranch is a haven where animals get the love, freedom, and green pastures they deserve. What started as “just one more” quickly turned into a lively family of rescued goats, sheep, horses, donkeys and chickens.
Come for the Animals, Stay for the Experience!
Horse Riding Lessons & Tours – For those who crave the thrill of open countryside and the freedom of a full gallop, our exclusive horse tours are designed just for experienced riders. Ride through breathtaking landscapes, feel the power of your horse beneath you, and, if you're up for it, let loose and gallop across the fields! This is not a slow, nose-to-tail ride—it's a real equestrian adventure. AVAILABLE IN JULY
Not quite ready for a countryside tour? No worries! We also offer horse riding lessons in our riding arena, perfect for beginners to intermediate riders. Learn the basics, build confidence, or refine your skills with our experienced instructors.
Goat & Sheep Playground – Step into a world of fun, laughter, and four-legged mischief at our one-of-a-kind goat and sheep playground! Designed for both kids and adults, this is where you can climb, play, and interact with our friendly, playful herd in a way you’ve never experienced before. AVAILABLE LATER IN THE YEAR, STILL BUILDING
Meet Our Loud & Lovable Crew – Our donkeys will make sure you hear them before you see them.
At Dalyan Rescue Ranch, we don’t just rescue animals—we show the world how they should live: happy, healthy, and free. Come visit, learn, and make some unforgettable furry friends!

Cruise the peaceful river between reed-lined banks, spotting turtles and birds as you go. The classic route takes you to İztuzu Beach and the famous ancient tombs.

One of the most beautiful beaches in Türkiye—this protected stretch of sand is a nesting site for the endangered loggerhead sea turtle (caretta caretta). No loud beach clubs here, just peace and stunning nature.
Mud Baths & Thermal Springs
Get muddy like the water buffalo! The Sultaniye Thermal Baths are rich in minerals and tradition—great for the skin, and definitely fun for the photos.

Step back in time among crumbling ruins and explore this ancient Lycian city with its amphitheater, acropolis, and stunning views over the delta.

Dalyan Delta Wildlife Watching
A paradise for bird lovers, with kingfishers, herons, and more. If you’re lucky, you might spot a sea turtle swimming along your boat!
