Yoga Retreat in Dalyan, Turkey

Beauty of nature yoga retreat

21st–28th September 2024

*This event is not in uK, but in Turkey

Every day we will practise Yoga, eat incredible heathy food and take you on an excursion of the day to experience the wonder of Dalyan. From seeing sea turtles & amazing views to hiking & exploring ancient historical sites.
Dalyan is a lovely, small, riverside town, placed in between one of Turkey’s vastest and most beautiful water bodies Koycegiz Lake, and the iconic river delta which terminates in the beautiful and famous Itzuzu beach, otherwise known as turtle beach.

Pomegranate Garden Villas

Our venue comes with twelve bedrooms within three identical villas set in a 5000m² secluded pomegranate tree garden. We can help ourselves to the garden produce: pomegranate, lemons, figs, grapes, plums or whatever else is in season. We have an enormous outside terrace big enough for a large group, a restaurant sized BBQ, two stunning swimming pools and of course the famous warm Turkish hospitality.
The villa is situated 15 minutes walk away from the town centre where you can find great restaurants with river views, charming bars and places to shop. The beach is also very close, only 10 minutes by taxi, or by public boat in just 35 minutes a beautiful scenic route passing through reeds and the famous delta, which was filmed in the movie “The African Queen”.
