Dalaman Beach for January 

A great beach to visit is Iztuzu Beach near Dalyan. It is on a narrow piece of land which forms a barrier between the Mediterranean and the Dalyan River. It is one of the main breeding grounds for caretta caretta sea turtles which has helped establish the beach's nickname "Turtle Beach". The beach was actually once planned to be built up for tourism, but because of the breeding ground, it was labelled as a Special Environmental Protection Area and has had this status since 1988. With the tourist season yet to arrive, take your time and explore the caretta caretta sea turtles natural habitat. The sand is said to be extremely soft making it perfect for a stroll. There are lounge chairs, a café, and facilities available at this beach. One other option is to check out the Sea Turtle Research Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre on the southern end of the beach.

Bars and Restaurants 

If you are looking for something unique, try the Dalyan Iz Garden Café in Dalyan.

Some specialties include vegetarian dishes, homemade lemon cake with lemon drizzle icing and fresh fruit smoothies.
