Once we arrive in the village of Dalyan, we'll hop on a boat to embark on an incredible journey! We'll cruise along the stunning Koycegiz Lake, Turkey's largest volcanic lake in the Aegean region.

Our knowledgeable guides will give you one hour of free time, show you how to take thermal and mud baths, and introduce you to all infrastructure of the place.

- Blue Crabs
When we arrive at Turtle Beach, we will make a special stop where you can try your hand at catching blue crabs and watch the majestic Caretta Caretta turtles. Blue crab was brought here from South America on the holds of ships. They are one of the favourite treats for the incredible Caretta caretta turtles!

Turtles come to this beach from all over the world to lay their eggs! This incredible place is a nature reserve, which means it's a magical, protected space for our planet's amazing wildlife. From 20:00 to 06:00, the beach is closed to the public. And in the river, you can see turtles that live here all the time! These are individuals who, for whatever reason, are unable to travel long distances or have health problems.
You'll have 1.5 hours to soak up the sun, dip your toes in the warm sea, and relax on the sandy beach.

5We booked this trip at the last minute. We are so glad we did! We had a lovely day on the river boat. Visited the mud bath and turtle beach. Lunch was good. The guide Adem was wonderful. Very informative and brilliant at his job. The photographer (sorry, can’t remember his name) was also very good. All in all. Well worth the money spent. Highly recommended!!!

5What an incredible trip! We had the chance to travel in a small boat on a river with an unusual green shade, catch crabs and even had turtles swim up to us! They quickly disappeared from sight, but it was still a great experience. We were surrounded by beautiful nature the whole time. Iztuzu is a gorgeous beach, and the guide told us that turtles lay their eggs on this beach! It was truly a remarkable experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone!
