Its story

İztuzu is a narrow strip of sand separating the freshwater delta from the Mediterranean, where the Dalyan channel opens onto the sea. The beach is one of the main nesting sites of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean. For this reason it is closed to visitors at night, and certain rules apply throughout the nesting season. The beach is reached from Dalyan by boat or by road.
