Villa Byblis is the perfect base for discovering Dalyan, a region rich in both natural beauty and historical treasures. Positioned just a short walk from Dalyan town, this villa is one of four exclusive riverside homes, each surrounded by beautifully kept gardens that stretch right down to the water’s edge. At the river, you’ll find your own little beach, complete with a jetty where you can relax and take in the tranquil surroundings, or set off on your own adventure by kayak or paddle-board. The calm waters are perfect for swimming, and if the sea calls, Iztuzu beach—a stunning expanse known for its loggerhead turtle conservation efforts—is only 15 minutes away by car or a scenic 30-minute boat ride. Iztuzu also has a rehabilitation centre where you can learn about turtle conservation, and if luck is on your side, you might spot a loggerhead paddling in the river right by your garden.

Byblis offers chic, contemporary accommodation in a delightful natural setting, bringing you the best of both worlds, whether you’re travelling with family or a group of friends. Every detail of the villa has been meticulously crafted for indulgence, with a range of optional extras on offer, from meal deliveries and beauty treatments to a private chef. For those prefer to try out the wonderful fresh local ingredients for themselves, the villa’s fully equipped outdoor kitchen is an absolute treat, complete with a portable air-conditioning unit to keep you cool while you’re cooking up a storm. The views from the villa are captivating, particularly from the upper floor balconies that overlook the lush gardens and the river’s edge, offering a prime spot to observe the area’s brilliant birdlife, from kingfishers and bee-eaters to storks and herons.

When you’re ready to explore more, Dalyan’s lively town centre is just a 10-minute walk away. Or, hop on one of the two included bicycles to navigate this flat, cycle-friendly area with ease. Dalyan itself is a charming town filled with inviting riverside restaurants and serves as a starting point for various activities, from leisurely boat trips and breakfast cruises to rejuvenating mud baths and excursions into traditional countryside villages.

We consider these villas to be the finest in the Dalyan area thanks to their unique river beaches and top quality interiors; they also represent remarkable value compared to similar properties elsewhere across our collections.

Our choice of Turkey properties is diverse, ranging from simple charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal.

To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
