Playa de Iztuzu

The taxi boat arrives/departs once a hour from the pier behind the bar. Departure times start from 12.30 till 19.30

Photos and review refer to the southern part of the beach, which can be reached by car or bus from the center of Dalyan. This part is less crowded compared to the northern part. On the left it is closed by a mountain, and on the right by a cliff, it looks picturesque, and can also be a bonus during windy weather. Parking is quite large, the costs 100 lira (passenger car, August 24). The beach has everything you need: a lifeguard, a bar, sun lounger rental, a shower and a toilet. Going north, you can stay on the free part of the beach. It is important to note that during the day the sand heats up quite strongly, so if you are not a desert person, it is impossible to be there without an umbrella. Fortunately, it can be installed 30 meters from the water behind the pegs of the protected area. The entrance to the water is shallow, so it warms up better than at nearby beaches. Great for kids and turtles.

Photos and this review is about the northern side of the beach, which can be reached primarily by boat from Dalyan or you can walk about 4 km from the southern part of the beach. The cost of a round trip at taxi boat is 300 TL (August 2024) for an adult. The boat leaves from the center of Dalyan, the journey takes about 40 minutes. The beach has all the basic amenities, the cost of 2 sun loungers + an umbrella is 300 TL. In case of using your own umbrella, it must be installed behind the reserve zone, which is marked with pegs (about 20 meters). The water area is shallow and very warm compared to the nearby bays. Perhaps this is why turtles have chosen this beach for nesting. The area on the northern side, right next to the Dalyan Strait, is crowded, but if you walk about 50-100 TL to the south, you can relax in an almost deserted place. The Dalyan Strait at the corner of the beach in August is almost possible to cross on foot. In fact, you need to swim about 15 meters. For this, you will be rewarded with the opportunity to visit a small adjacent picturesque deserted beach. But you need to be careful, as the strait can be heavily trafficked by boats, and there are also prohibiting signs.

Realmente disfruté de esta playa. La tarifa es bastante asequible a 2€ por coche, independientemente del número de personas dentro. Tienen baños públicos y duchas, aunque el agua de las duchas es fría y salada. La playa en sí está bien cuidada y limpia. El agua no se vuelve demasiado profunda para nadar, lo que la hace perfecta para los niños. Además, hay un Hospital de Tortugas cercano que puedes visitar. Algunos pinos proporcionan sombra, pero si llegas después de las 10 am, es probable que ya estén ocupados. A veces puede hacer bastante viento. El restaurante en el lugar ofrece comida a precios razonables.

La playa es absolutamente increíble, con una vista impresionante y el añadido de tortugas. Hay mucho estacionamiento disponible a un precio razonable, y también hay un café en el lugar.
