Beaches Info | Turkey Pictures | Travel Guide | Istanbul Travel Guide | Turkey Map

Reached by boat, Turtle Beach [also known as Iztuzu Beach], a sandbar of the Dalyan Delta, is one of the last breeding places in Europe for the protected loggerhead 'Cretta' sea turtle.
It's several kilometres long, with very scenic surroundings, hot brown sand, and shallow water. A small café, sun loungers and umbrellas available. It's accessible mainly by an enjoyable 20 minute public boat ride from pleasant, relaxed Dalyan town.
Dalyan has a gorgeous river frontage looking across to Lycian tombs carved into the rock face.
Twitcher alert! Swamp bugs can be irritating to humans but delicious to avians, so there's lots of bird life here, especially swallows.
30 mins from Dalaman Airport.
