Koycegiz Palm Garden
Koycegiz Palm Garden
The Palm Centre at Koycegiz is a unique and large garden and is an excellent destination for a day out with a difference whilst on holiday in Dalyan.
It's about 30km ride from Dalyan to Koycegiz Palm Centre.
Entry costa a few Lira which includes a guided tour of the gardens and tea or coffee and a cake at the and of your tour.
The gardens were established by a Turkish doctor, Ragip Esener, who spent part of his career in Africa and fell in love with palm trees.
He bought the land now occupied by the palm centre in 1993 and from 1996 has been developing his gardens, an extensive palmetry and the plant sales area.
The gardens are lovely and include a coi pond, turtle pond, collections of palms (of course) but also cactus, succulents, water lillies and oleanders amongst others.
If you are lucky your guide could be Ragip himself who has the patient of saint when answering questions about plants, and speaks excellent English.
The gardens are open from 1st June to 31st October, 09:00 - 18:00
