Iztuzu Beach guide: sand, turtles and the best time of day

Iztuzu is the beach that made Dalyan famous: eight kilometres of protected sand, kept wonderfully natural.

Boat or road?

By boat, you glide through the delta and understand why Dalyan feels special. By road, the journey is faster and more direct.

If it is your first time, take the boat at least once. It is part of the experience.

Best time of day

Early morning is the calmest. Later, the beach gets busier, especially in summer.

For families, shade, water and return times matter more than chasing the perfect plan. Keep it simple.

Why the beach is protected

Iztuzu is important for loggerhead turtles. Seasonal rules and marked areas help protect nesting.

Take that seriously: keep clear of the marked zones, leave the sand as you found it and take your rubbish with you.
