A SIDE IS MEDITERRANEAN, OTHER IS SWEETWATER

Resting at the skirts of the hills and protruding onto the entrance of Dalyan Delta, the Iztuzu Beach is a 5400 meter bank of pure golden sand kissing the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean. The border between the sea and the internal marsh is a long narrow beach called "the Turtles Beach." This beach is one of the few remaining locations in the Mediterranean sea that has the right conditions for the Loggerhead Turtle (Caretta Caretta) to reproduce.

No constructions but some changing rooms are allowed on the beach. Sorry but no beach fun after dark; the turtles might be disturbed. Dogs and other pets are also not allowed on the beach; they may harm the turtle eggs. Watch the signposts for turtle eggs and be sure not to sit on our put any beach equipment.

You can reach to Iztuzu Beach by public boats from Dalyan Quay. It takes approximately 35-40 minutes  by a dreamy journey between reeds.

Iztuzu Beach is 12 km from Dalyan by minibus. Public minibus move from near the mosque every half hour during the day.
