Iztuzu (Turtle) Beach, a fantastic swimming beach, is one of the Mediterranean breeding locations of the loggerhead turtle, and specific regulations are enforced to safeguard it. The beach is accessible to the public during the day, but from 8 p.m. until 8 a.m. from May to September, no one is allowed to come. Visitors are asked to stay behind the wooden pegs that mark the nest places on Iztuzu Beach in order to prevent harming the nests.
Iztuzu Beach, also known as Turtle Beach, is located in Mugla Province, 13 kilometres from the historic Turkish village of Dalyan and halfway between the well-liked vacation destinations of Fethiye and Marmaris. The 5-kilometer-long beach, which is actually a sandbank sandwiched between a freshwater lake and the turquoise sea, has soft white sands, shallow water, and a few improvised huts where you can get local beer, Turkish tea in hourglass-shaped glasses, or Gozleme, a savoury pancake from Turkey, for lunch. In 1995, Iztuzu was named the world’s most beautiful beach, and in 2008, it was named the “Best Open Space in Europe.”

Nesting places are warned off to safeguard the eggs.
