Best coffee shop in Dalyan! Saba is such a wonderful and friendly person. We were in the area for vacation, and visited this coffee shop on 4 different occasions throughout the week. The cakes and cheesecakes are all homemade, and you're made to feel so welcome. My personal favour was the San Sebastian cheesecake, and don't forget the homemade chocolate sauce. This place is a must visit!! Saba, thank you for our Dalyan wooden magnet. We have placed this on our fridge at home and smile every time we see it. Much love, James and Mark x

What an amazing find. Although to us a recommendation from others online. The cakes are exquisite and the home made lemonade takes me back to being a kid. The lovely lady makes everything and you can tell it’s all home made. She is very friendly and funny. Its not far from anywhere in Dalyan as it’s such a small resort - so about 10 mins slow pace from the Mosque. We will be back x

Dalyan Spirit (Saba) makes a range of unique handmade gifts mostly from local driftwood. Saba is a talented artist who paints and decorates. Her husband Rasim crafts the wooden shapes and also produces some of the ceramic items. Additionally she stocks some work from.other artists Everything is made with love and care and is artistically exquisite. I have known Saba personally since she opened this shop. She is a woman who will 'go the extra mile' and this summer she provided my 10 yr old granddaughter with a personalised painting workshop

Honestly, the most clean and fresh cafe! Owner is a joy! Sandwiches are delicious and just the right size. Great matcha and coffee! The handmade gifts are gorgeous too! We took airport sandwiches from here aswell. I’d recommend this cafe highly as it’s everything you want in a holiday cafe

I rather call this place not a gift shop ,it is art center of Dalyan. You may find handcrafted paints on wooden panels ( they are not using new wood ,they use drifted wood collecting from the shore,unique ceramic items each pcs handcrafted and different from others ,and many many other art pieces. Wooden armchair from sixties is very interesting piece took me to the memories of past. Owners of this place talented artists .If you go nearby Dalyan area ,it is highly recommended to visit this place.You will not regret.

Saba’s orange cheesecake was recommended by a friend and it was absolutely delicious. Her other homemade cakes looked fantastic but we ended up returning for one last slice to take away for our flight home as knew we wouldn’t be able to have something like it again. The shop is beautiful and whole experience wonderful. Would certainly recommend as you are in for an experience

We have known Saba since she opened her special gift shop 5 years ago. Everything in her shop is handmade and very unique. Personalized gifts can also be designed on request. Saba is a very nice lady and has become family to us
