Marmaris Turtle Island is home to the majestic Caretta Caretta turtles, which have been nesting on Iztuzu Beach for decades. This vast stretch of sand provides an ideal spot for these creatures to lay their eggs, with each turtle producing up to 150 eggs. However, only a few hatchlings make it to the sea, as they must avoid predators like blue crabs. Unlike the vulnerable young, adult turtles, reaching up to 1.5 meters in length and weighing around 70 kg, have little to fear from natural threats.
How do I get to Turtle Beach from Marmaris?
A day trip to Dalyan from Marmaris offers a chance to witness these incredible turtles up close while also experiencing the thrill of catching blue crabs. These vibrant-colored crabs are not only fascinating to observe but also a delicious delicacy. The journey includes a stop at Köyceğiz Lake, visits to thermal radon springs, and rejuvenating mud baths. You’ll also have the opportunity to admire the ancient Lycian rock tombs and raft along the scenic Dalyan River before unwinding on a pristine beach.
