Iztuzu Beach, more commonly known as Turtle Beach, name taken from Caretta Caretta turtles. Only 30 kilometres from Koycegiz by car (35min) and lots of parking available at the beach site for a small fee. The 5-kilometre wide beach lies between a natural freshwater lake and the sparkling Turquoise sea; it boasts soft white sands, shallow transparent water and a just a few makeshift shacks where you can food and drink. You can try Turkish tea, beer any soft drinks. Gozleme is always available, a Turkish savoury pancake cooked on a hot plate. Iztuzu was voted most beautiful beach in the world in 1995 and in 2008 it was said to be the 'Best Open Space in Europe'. It is certainly an idyllic location, not just for animal and nature lovers but also for swimmers and sunbathers. Social distancing - lots of space. Iztuzu beach is also a nesting area for the endangered Loggerhead turtles, a 45 million-year-old species who are both monitored and protected by the International Animal Protection Organisation as well as other notable groups. The Caretta Caretta lay their eggs between May and October when access to the beach is open during the day but prohibited between 20:00 and 8:00 and nesting grounds are cautioned off to protect the eggs. Small boats leave from Koycegiz town and journey along the lake and water channels to Turtle beach.

- 95 km drive - DALYAN Dalyan's biggest draw is undoubtedly İztuzu Beach, one of the main nesting sites for the endangered loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean. The pristine beach and its hinterland were given protected status in 1988. After being voted Europe's Best Open Space in 2008 by the British newspaper The Times İztuzu Beach has again won prizes in 2011.

Beach nights are left to turtles and guardians. The story of Iztuzu Beach? The Dalaman Stream is in the ancient times that have flowed from Ortaca and Dalyan. Today the majority of Ortaca and Dalyan’s Arıkbaşı Quarter are completely covered with sand and pebbles carried by the Dalaman Stream. We know that the southwest part of Anatolia was badly affected by the great Rhodes earthquake in 226 BC or 227 BC. This earthquake changed the bed of Dalaman Stream. This event created the miracle of Iztuzu. Without the Dalaman Stream, this time the drifting of the sand has reversed. The waves have begun to drift into the sand. The rocks in front of the Iztuzu Beach accumulate in the current location of the sand because of the speed of the waves. Thin gold whirlpool sand. They have kept gathering. One day they gathered together without knowing they would be home to Caretta Carettalar’s eggs. A magnificent beach on one side with a salty Mediterranean and fresh water on the other … Today Iztuzu Beach, which offers the most pleasant opportunities to enter the sea, has the only buffet, buffet cabins, toilets, health cabin to meet the needs of the guests.

To the visitors of Dalyan who came for the first time we recommend going by boat first rather then with car/bus.It is possible to see all the beauties of the canal during the journey that takes about 45 minutes.Please do not miss the impressive view of the royal tombs that will suddenly appear on your left after one of the last turns, especially while returning. Boats make frequent trips from the pier close to the center.There are two cafes on the beach. You can find toast, hamburgers, pancakes and soft drinks. Unfortunately, alcoholic beverages have not been sold for a few years.So if you want to drink a cold beer, you have to take it with you.It is no problem to find a quiet place on the 4.5 km long beach. You can also rent umbrellas and sun loungers in the pier area. If you want to go with your car, a journey of approximately 20 minutes (12 km) awaits you. The road that continues next to the Sülüngür lake reaches the beach through the forests. Parking is paid.By visiting the Turtle Hospital, you can see the turtles under treatment and get information about the studies under the guidance of volunteer biology students. You can use the beach between from 08:00 in the morning until 20:00 at night.Afterwards, we have to leave the beach to the turtles. Do not be surprised by the announcement of "Please evacuate the beach" made around 19.30 on the side where you go by car. It is forbidden to sit, lay towels, etc. between the rope laid on the ground along the seaside and the piles you can see a little further behind. Turtles lay their eggs in that area approximately.You cannot enter the beach with your dog. They can damage the eggs by digging.The sea is calm between morning and noon, then it becomes wavy and windy. We prefer to go to the beach with our vehicle and take a walk with the convenience of our special subscription card for those living here (of course we pay a fee!).We do not recommend this 8 km round trip, which is very enjoyable for us, to families who do not trust their children!
