Set between the Dalyan River delta and the open Mediterranean, it is worth visiting for its rare natural setting, soft sand, long shoreline, scenic boat access, clear water, and strong conservation identity. Unlike a typical resort beach, \u0130ztuzu remains a living coastal habitat with seasonal rules, marked nesting zones, managed facilities, and restricted night access to protect turtles. Today, it is an active, protected beach that continues to welcome daytime visitors while preserving one of Dalyan\u2019s most valuable natural landmarks.<\/p>\n<p>Stretching for about 4.5 kilometers, \u0130ztuzu Beach forms a narrow sandbar where freshwater wetlands, reed beds, mountain views, and sea meet in one striking landscape. This geography gives the beach a character that feels different from many developed beaches on the Turkish Riviera. On one side, Dalyan\u2019s winding river channels lead toward the shore through a maze of reeds; on the other, the Mediterranean opens into a broad, sunlit bay. The result is a beach that feels spacious, cinematic, and unusually calm in atmosphere, even during the busy summer season.<\/p>\n<p>The classic way to reach \u0130ztuzu is by boat from Dalyan. This route turns the beach visit into part of a wider journey, passing river scenery, reeds, boats, and views connected to the ancient landscape around Kaunos. Visitors who prefer flexibility can also arrive by road, taxi, car, or seasonal minibus at the land-side entrance. The two access routes create two different experiences: the boat approach is more scenic and memorable, while the road entrance is easier for families, beach bags, parking, and early-morning swimming.<\/p>\n<p>\u0130ztuzu is especially appealing to travelers who want more than a simple beach day. Its sand is broad and comfortable for walking, the sea is inviting in calm weather, and the shoreline offers enough length to find quieter sections away from the busiest facility areas. Families appreciate the sandy entry, toilets, showers, changing cabins, caf\u00e9s, sunbeds, and umbrellas in managed zones, while nature lovers come for the turtle story and the feeling of being inside a protected coastal environment. The beach is not a place for loud nightlife, dense beach clubs, or intrusive motorized activity; its beauty depends on restraint, space, and respect for the habitat.<\/p>\n<p>The Caretta caretta connection is central to \u0130ztuzu\u2019s identity. During the warmer months, loggerhead turtles come ashore to nest, and their eggs incubate beneath the sand before hatchlings make their way to the sea. This is why visitors see signs, marked areas, ropes, and nest protection points on the beach. These features are not obstacles to the visitor experience; they are part of what makes \u0130ztuzu special. Staying away from marked nests, avoiding lights at night, keeping the sand clean, and following posted rules all help protect the next generation of turtles.<\/p>\n<p>The best time to visit \u0130ztuzu Beach is usually late May, June, September, and early October, when the weather is warm but the beach is more comfortable than in the hottest peak weeks. July and August bring strong sun, hot sand, fuller parking areas, and greater demand for shade and facilities. Morning is often the best time for families and swimmers because the sand is cooler, the water is usually calmer, and the beach feels easier to manage before the afternoon heat and breeze increase.<\/p>\n<p>\u0130ztuzu also works beautifully as part of a Dalyan day trip. Visitors can combine the beach with the Dalyan River, Kaunos rock tombs, Kaunos Ancient City, DEKAMER turtle rescue and rehabilitation center, S\u00fcl\u00fcng\u00fcr Lake, mud baths, or a relaxed meal in Dalyan town. This makes the beach useful for many travel styles: a simple swim stop, a family beach day, a conservation-focused outing, or a full nature-and-history itinerary.<\/p>\n<p>What makes \u0130ztuzu Beach truly memorable is the balance between access and protection. It is easy enough to visit, with transport options and basic services, yet still feels shaped by nature rather than development. The absence of a hotel-lined beachfront, the presence of turtle conservation rules, and the wide sweep of sand between river and sea give it a rare sense of place. For travelers exploring Dalyan, Ortaca, Dalaman, Sar\u0131germe, or the wider Mu\u011fla coast, \u0130ztuzu Beach is not just another beach stop; it is one of the region\u2019s defining natural experiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"template":"","listivo_14":["Beaches"],"listivo_2723":[],"listivo_8964":["Ortaca"],"listivo_8976":[],"class_list":["post-35890","listivo_listing","type-listivo_listing","status-publish","hentry","listivo_14-beaches","listivo_8964-ortaca"],"listivo_145":["https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-sunset-sandy-shoreline-01.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-pine-covered-cliffs-24.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-shallow-lagoon-water-30.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-panoramic-dalyan-valley-54.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-caretta-caretta-display-38.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-turquoise-water-rocky-cove-45.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-wide-sandy-beachscape-25.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-beach-umbrellas-mountain-view-62.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-sandy-shore-mountain-bay-40.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-protected-beach-landscape-55.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-summer-loungers-umbrellas-53.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-aerial-turtle-beach-delta-50.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-dalyan-coastal-wetlands-49.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-protected-turtle-shore-23.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-reed-beds-river-channels-41.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-reed-delta-waterways-06.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-sand-and-sea-panorama-29.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-sandbar-between-sea-lagoon-44.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-sandy-bay-blue-horizon-63.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-sandy-cove-rocky-headland-13.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-sea-turtle-warning-board-37.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-turtle-beach-boardwalk-18.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-turtle-beach-wide-coast-05.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-turtle-information-sign-11.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-turtle-nesting-beach-rules-56.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-turtle-rescue-information-26.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-umbrella-rows-sea-view-19.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-delta-lagoon-blue-sea-59.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-wild-coastline-view-60.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-turtle-beach-final-panorama-65.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06

It is worth visiting for its unusual sandbar setting between the Dalyan delta and the open sea, soft golden shore, mountain-backed scenery, calm swimming in settled weather, and international importance as a Caretta caretta nesting beach. The beach remains an active conservation area, so visitor access, sunbeds, umbrellas, lighting, night use, boat traffic and beach rules are shaped by seasonal turtle-protection measures.     <\/p>   <\/div>    <div class=\"hero-grid\">     <figure class=\"hero-media\" aria-label=\"\u0130ztuzu Beach overview image\">       <img         src=\"https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-aerial-turtle-beach-delta-50.webp\"         srcset=\"https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-aerial-turtle-beach-delta-50.webp 1200w\"         sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 760px\"         width=\"1200\"         height=\"800\"         alt=\"Aerial view of \u0130ztuzu Beach sandbar between Dalyan delta wetlands and the Mediterranean Sea in Ortaca Mu\u011fla\"         loading=\"lazy\"         decoding=\"async\">       <figcaption class=\"hero-overlay\">         <b>Sandbar, delta and turtle nesting shore<\/b>         <p>\u0130ztuzu stretches between reed-filled Dalyan waterways and the Mediterranean, creating one of Mu\u011fla\u2019s most distinctive beach landscapes and one of T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s best-known turtle nesting areas.<\/p>       <\/figcaption>     <\/figure>      <aside class=\"fact-panel\" aria-label=\"\u0130ztuzu Beach facts\">       <div class=\"fact-head\">         <h3>At a Glance<\/h3>         <p>A protected sandy beach near Dalyan, best known for turtle conservation, riverboat access, long walking space and a natural delta-meets-sea setting.<\/p>       <\/div>        <dl class=\"facts\">         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Turkish Name<\/dt><dd>\u0130ztuzu Plaj\u0131<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Common Name<\/dt><dd>Turtle Beach \/ Kaplumba\u011fa Plaj\u0131<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Location<\/dt><dd>Dalyan, Ortaca, Mu\u011fla<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Region<\/dt><dd>Mediterranean Region \/ Turkish Riviera<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Beach Type<\/dt><dd>Long sandy shore and protected sandbar<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Status<\/dt><dd>Caretta caretta nesting beach and protected coastal area<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Best For<\/dt><dd>Nature lovers, families, walkers, swimmers, photographers and Dalyan day trips<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Access<\/dt><dd>Boat from Dalyan, minibus, taxi, private car and organized tours<\/dd><\/div>       <\/dl>     <\/aside>   <\/div>    <div class=\"metrics\" aria-label=\"\u0130ztuzu Beach key facts\">     <div class=\"metric\"><b>4.5 km<\/b><span>Beach Length<\/span><\/div>     <div class=\"metric\"><b>Protected<\/b><span>Turtle Habitat<\/span><\/div>     <div class=\"metric\"><b>30\u201340 min<\/b><span>Boat from Dalyan<\/span><\/div>     <div class=\"metric\"><b>20 min<\/b><span>Minibus Access<\/span><\/div>     <div class=\"metric\"><b>Sand<\/b><span>Beach Surface<\/span><\/div>     <div class=\"metric\"><b>May\u2013Oct<\/b><span>Main Season<\/span><\/div>   <\/div>    <div class=\"columns\">     <article class=\"card aqua\">       <div class=\"label\"><span><\/span> Beach Character<\/div>       <p>\u0130ztuzu Beach is not a resort-strip beach.

July and August bring hotter sand, stronger crowds and higher pressure on parking, boats, shade and sunbeds.

The water is often inviting in settled summer weather, and the fine sand makes the shore easy for barefoot walking, sunbathing and family beach days. Conditions are not identical every hour, because afternoon wind can add surface chop and small waves, especially on exposed parts of the open-sea side.     <\/p>   <\/header>    <div class=\"swim-hero\">     <figure class=\"hero-media\" aria-label=\"\u0130ztuzu Beach swimming and sand image\">       <img         src=\"https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-clear-water-gentle-waves-14.webp\"         srcset=\"https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-clear-water-gentle-waves-14.webp 1200w\"         sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 760px\"         width=\"1200\"         height=\"800\"         alt=\"Clear shallow water and gentle waves on the sandy shore of \u0130ztuzu Beach in Ortaca Mu\u011fla\"         loading=\"lazy\"         decoding=\"async\">       <figcaption class=\"hero-overlay\">         <b>Fine sand and open-sea swimming<\/b>         <p>The beach has a soft sandy shoreline and a gradual sea entry in many areas, but the open Mediterranean exposure means water can feel calmer in the morning and livelier later in the day.<\/p>       <\/figcaption>     <\/figure>      <aside class=\"condition-panel\" aria-label=\"\u0130ztuzu Beach swimming facts\">       <div class=\"condition-head\">         <h3>Water &amp; Shore at a Glance<\/h3>         <p>\u0130ztuzu suits swimmers, walkers and families who prefer sand, space and a natural setting over a built-up resort beach.<\/p>       <\/div>        <dl class=\"facts\">         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Surface<\/dt><dd>Fine sand along most of the shoreline<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Sea Entry<\/dt><dd>Mostly sandy and gradual in settled conditions<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Water Feel<\/dt><dd>Calmer in the morning, breezier later<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Waves<\/dt><dd>Usually manageable, but wind can create chop<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Families<\/dt><dd>Good in calm weather with supervision<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Walking<\/dt><dd>Excellent for long shoreline walks<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Shade<\/dt><dd>Limited away from managed umbrellas<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Caution<\/dt><dd>Avoid river-mouth currents and boat areas<\/dd><\/div>       <\/dl>     <\/aside>   <\/div>    <div class=\"cards\">     <article class=\"card aqua\">       <div class=\"label\"><span><\/span> Sand Texture<\/div>       <p>\u0130ztuzu is one of the more comfortable sandy beaches around Dalyan. The shore feels broad underfoot, with enough open space for walking even when the managed sections are busy. In July and August, the sand can become very hot by midday, so sandals are useful for children and anyone walking between the sea, caf\u00e9s, toilets and sunbed areas.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"card green\">       <div class=\"label\"><span><\/span> Sea Entry<\/div>       <p>The entry into the sea is usually easier than at rocky or shingle beaches on the Mu\u011fla coast. Many visitors find the first section suitable for relaxed swimming and cautious family use, although adults should still watch children closely. Depth, waves and current feel can change by weather, wind direction and exact beach position.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"card coral\">       <div class=\"label\"><span><\/span> Waves and Wind<\/div>       <p>Morning is normally the best time for smoother water, easier swimming and cooler sand. By afternoon, the exposed beach can feel windier, with more ripples and occasional small waves. This does not usually stop swimming, but it changes the mood from calm floating to livelier open-sea bathing.<\/p>     <\/article>   <\/div>    <div class=\"wide-note\">     <h3>Where Is the Best Place to Swim?<\/h3>     <p>       The most comfortable swimming is usually found near the managed beach areas, where visitors are closer to facilities, shade rentals and regular foot traffic. The long open shore is attractive for walking, but swimmers should avoid the river-mouth end where freshwater, boat movement and changing currents can make conditions less predictable. Families should choose calm-weather mornings, stay close to the shore and avoid letting children drift too far along the beach because the coastline is long and exposed.     <\/p>   <\/div>    <div class=\"closing\">     <div class=\"closing-text\">       <h3>Is \u0130ztuzu Beach Good for Swimming?<\/h3>       <p>\u0130ztuzu Beach is good for swimming when the sea is calm, especially for visitors who like sandy entry, warm-season water and a spacious natural beach. It is less suitable for those needing guaranteed flat lagoon conditions, deep shade everywhere or a fully sheltered cove.<\/p>     <\/div>     <div class=\"closing-points\">       <div class=\"closing-point\">Best swimming time: morning<\/div>       <div class=\"closing-point\">Best surface: fine sandy shore<\/div>       <div class=\"closing-point\">Main caution: wind and river-mouth areas<\/div>     <\/div>   <\/div> <\/section>","embed":""},"listivo_28136":{"url":"<section id=\"iztuzu-beach-facilities\" aria-labelledby=\"iztuzu-beach-facilities-title\">   <style>     #iztuzu-beach-facilities,     #iztuzu-beach-facilities *,     #iztuzu-beach-facilities *::before,     #iztuzu-beach-facilities *::after{       box-sizing:border-box;

Services are useful but intentionally limited compared with a resort beach, because \u0130ztuzu is a protected turtle nesting shore.

The road-side entrance is usually the easiest choice for parking, carrying beach bags, reaching facilities quickly and controlling departure time. The Dalyan boat-side arrival feels more scenic and memorable, but it depends on boat schedules and return timing. Both ends can offer basic services in season, although exact caf\u00e9 opening, rental availability, prices and payment methods can change. For families, the road-side end is often more practical; for visitors who want the classic Dalyan reed-channel journey, the boat-side end is part of the appeal.     <\/p>   <\/div>    <div class=\"closing\">     <div class=\"closing-text\">       <h3>What Should Visitors Bring?<\/h3>       <p>Visitors should bring water, sun protection, sandals, a towel, swimwear, small cash or card, and patience for seasonal queues. \u0130ztuzu has useful facilities, but its protected character means comfort is balanced with conservation rules and limited development.<\/p>     <\/div>     <div class=\"closing-points\">       <div class=\"closing-point\">Facilities are seasonal and managed<\/div>       <div class=\"closing-point\">Shade is strongest in rental zones<\/div>       <div class=\"closing-point\">Do not place items on nesting areas<\/div>     <\/div>   <\/div> <\/section>","embed":""},"listivo_28137":{"url":"<section id=\"iztuzu-beach-fees-hours\" aria-labelledby=\"iztuzu-beach-fees-hours-title\">   <style>     #iztuzu-beach-fees-hours,     #iztuzu-beach-fees-hours *,     #iztuzu-beach-fees-hours *::before,     #iztuzu-beach-fees-hours *::after{       box-sizing:border-box;

Sunbeds, umbrellas, food and drinks are additional costs. Because \u0130ztuzu is a protected Caretta caretta nesting beach, opening hours, evening access, facility operation and rental areas can change by season, weather, conservation work and local management decisions.     <\/p>   <\/header>    <div class=\"fees-hero\">     <figure class=\"hero-media\" aria-label=\"\u0130ztuzu Beach entrance and parking image\">       <img         src=\"https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-beach-path-wooden-posts-15.webp\"         srcset=\"https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-beach-path-wooden-posts-15.webp 1200w\"         sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 760px\"         width=\"1200\"         height=\"800\"         alt=\"Wooden beach path and marked access route at \u0130ztuzu Beach in Ortaca Mu\u011fla\"         loading=\"lazy\"         decoding=\"async\">       <figcaption class=\"hero-overlay\">         <b>Managed access and protected beach rules<\/b>         <p>Visitors should follow marked routes, use official entrances and check same-day prices before committing to parking, boat transport or sunbed rentals.<\/p>       <\/figcaption>     <\/figure>      <aside class=\"fees-panel\" aria-label=\"\u0130ztuzu Beach fees and hours facts\">       <div class=\"fees-panel-head\">         <h3>Planning Snapshot<\/h3>         <p>Costs are usually split between access method, parking, rentals and transport rather than one fixed all-inclusive beach ticket.<\/p>       <\/div>        <dl class=\"facts\">         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Beach Access<\/dt><dd>Often free or low-cost, depending on entrance and season<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Parking<\/dt><dd>Usually paid at or near the road-side entrance<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Boat Access<\/dt><dd>Dalyan boats charge separately for transport<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Sunbeds<\/dt><dd>Optional paid rental in managed zones<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Umbrellas<\/dt><dd>Optional paid rental where permitted<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Main Hours<\/dt><dd>Generally daytime use during beach season<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Night Access<\/dt><dd>Restricted to protect turtle nesting areas<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Best Check<\/dt><dd>Confirm latest prices locally before arrival<\/dd><\/div>       <\/dl>     <\/aside>   <\/div>    <div class=\"cost-grid\" aria-label=\"\u0130ztuzu Beach cost categories\">     <div class=\"cost\"><b>Parking<\/b><span>Road Arrival<\/span><\/div>     <div class=\"cost\"><b>Boat Fare<\/b><span>Dalyan Arrival<\/span><\/div>     <div class=\"cost\"><b>Sunbed Set<\/b><span>Optional Rental<\/span><\/div>     <div class=\"cost\"><b>Caf\u00e9 Spend<\/b><span>Food &amp; Drinks<\/span><\/div>   <\/div>    <div class=\"cards\">     <article class=\"card aqua\">       <div class=\"label\"><span><\/span> Entrance Fee<\/div>       <p>\u0130ztuzu is often described as free or inexpensive to enter, but the real cost of the visit depends on how the traveler arrives and what they use on the beach.

Its facilities, parking areas, rental zones and visitor rules operate inside a sensitive protected coastal landscape. Prices can change between seasons, entrance points and service providers, while beach hours can shift around conservation needs, weather, maintenance and turtle nesting protection. Visitors planning around a tight budget should check the latest parking fee, boat fare, sunbed price and umbrella price in Dalyan or at the road-side entrance before settling in for the day.     <\/p>   <\/div>    <div class=\"closing\">     <div class=\"closing-text\">       <h3>Is \u0130ztuzu Beach Free?<\/h3>       <p>\u0130ztuzu Beach can be a low-cost beach visit if visitors avoid rentals and arrive with simple beach gear, but most travelers still spend money on parking, boat transport, sunbeds, umbrellas, snacks or drinks.

The long sandy shore is not only a place for swimming and sunbathing; it is also a living breeding habitat where turtles come ashore during the warm months to nest. This protected status shapes how the beach is used, where visitors can walk, when the beach closes, and why marked nests must never be disturbed.     <\/p>   <\/header>    <div class=\"turtle-hero\">     <figure class=\"hero-media\" aria-label=\"\u0130ztuzu Beach turtle conservation image\">       <img         src=\"https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-caretta-caretta-display-38.webp\"         srcset=\"https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-caretta-caretta-display-38.webp 1200w\"         sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 760px\"         width=\"1200\"         height=\"800\"         alt=\"Caretta caretta turtle display and conservation information at \u0130ztuzu Beach in Ortaca Mu\u011fla\"         loading=\"lazy\"         decoding=\"async\">       <figcaption class=\"hero-overlay\">         <b>Turtle Beach with active protection<\/b>         <p>Signs, marked zones and nest protection measures remind visitors that \u0130ztuzu is a conservation beach first and a swimming beach second.<\/p>       <\/figcaption>     <\/figure>      <aside class=\"turtle-panel\" aria-label=\"\u0130ztuzu Beach turtle conservation facts\">       <div class=\"turtle-panel-head\">         <h3>Conservation at a Glance<\/h3>         <p>Beach rules protect nesting turtles, hatchlings, eggs and the dark, quiet conditions they need to survive.<\/p>       <\/div>        <dl class=\"facts\">         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Species<\/dt><dd>Loggerhead sea turtle \/ Caretta caretta<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Nickname<\/dt><dd>Turtle Beach \/ Kaplumba\u011fa Plaj\u0131<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Habitat<\/dt><dd>Protected sandy nesting beach<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Season<\/dt><dd>Main nesting activity in warm months<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Night Use<\/dt><dd>Restricted to protect nesting turtles<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Nests<\/dt><dd>Marked, monitored and protected on the sand<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Center<\/dt><dd>DEKAMER sea turtle rescue and research center nearby<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Visitor Role<\/dt><dd>Stay on permitted routes and respect signs<\/dd><\/div>       <\/dl>     <\/aside>   <\/div>    <div class=\"rule-grid\" aria-label=\"\u0130ztuzu Beach turtle protection rules\">     <div class=\"rule\"><b>No Night Beach Use<\/b><span>Protect Nesting<\/span><\/div>     <div class=\"rule\"><b>Do Not Touch Nests<\/b><span>Marked Areas<\/span><\/div>     <div class=\"rule\"><b>No Lights on Sand<\/b><span>Hatchling Safety<\/span><\/div>     <div class=\"rule\"><b>Keep Beach Clean<\/b><span>No Plastic Waste<\/span><\/div>   <\/div>    <div class=\"cards\">     <article class=\"card green\">       <div class=\"label\"><span><\/span> Why Turtles Nest Here<\/div>       <p>Caretta caretta turtles need quiet, sandy beaches where females can come ashore, dig nests and leave eggs above the tide line. \u0130ztuzu\u2019s long sandbar, limited development and protected setting make it especially valuable.

These are not decorations or photo props. They mark sensitive places where eggs, hatchlings or monitoring work may be present, and they should be given space from every direction.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"card coral\">       <div class=\"label\"><span><\/span> DEKAMER<\/div>       <p>DEKAMER, the sea turtle research, rescue and rehabilitation center near \u0130ztuzu, is closely associated with turtle protection in the Dalyan area. Its work includes rescue, rehabilitation, scientific monitoring and public awareness. For visitors, it adds important context: the beach is part of an active conservation landscape, not only a holiday shoreline.<\/p>     <\/article>   <\/div>    <div class=\"wide-note\">     <h3>How to Behave on a Turtle Nesting Beach<\/h3>     <p>       Visitors should walk only on permitted routes, keep away from marked nests, avoid digging into the sand near protected areas and never move signs, ropes or cages. Bright lights, flash photography, loud activity and after-dark beach use can confuse nesting turtles and hatchlings, so the beach is restricted at night during sensitive periods. Litter is especially harmful because plastic, food waste and loose items can trap hatchlings or damage the habitat. A responsible visit means leaving the sand exactly as it was found.     <\/p>   <\/div>    <div class=\"closing\">     <div class=\"closing-text\">       <h3>Why the Rules Matter<\/h3>       <p>The rules at \u0130ztuzu Beach protect more than scenery. They help nesting females reach the shore, keep eggs safe in the sand and give hatchlings a better chance of reaching the sea. Visitors who follow signs directly support the beach\u2019s future.<\/p>     <\/div>     <div class=\"closing-points\">       <div class=\"closing-point\">Respect every marked nest<\/div>       <div class=\"closing-point\">Keep lights away from the sand<\/div>       <div class=\"closing-point\">Use the beach only during permitted hours<\/div>     <\/div>   <\/div> <\/section>","embed":""},"listivo_28139":{"url":"<section id=\"iztuzu-beach-things-to-do\" aria-labelledby=\"iztuzu-beach-things-to-do-title\">   <style>     #iztuzu-beach-things-to-do,     #iztuzu-beach-things-to-do *,     #iztuzu-beach-things-to-do *::before,     #iztuzu-beach-things-to-do *::after{       box-sizing:border-box;

Visitors arriving by boat can enjoy the river channels first, then swim and rest at the beach before returning to Dalyan for food. Visitors arriving by road can start earlier, use the car park, spend longer on the sand and add DEKAMER more easily. For a fuller day, combine \u0130ztuzu with Kaunos views, Dalyan riverside caf\u00e9s, mud baths or a short scenic drive toward S\u00fcl\u00fcng\u00fcr Lake.     <\/p>   <\/div>    <div class=\"closing\">     <div class=\"closing-text\">       <h3>What Should You Not Expect?<\/h3>       <p>\u0130ztuzu is not a loud beach-club strip or a water-sports playground.

Sandals help children move between the sea, toilets, caf\u00e9s and sunbeds.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"family-card coral\">       <div class=\"label\"><span><\/span> Facilities<\/div>       <h3>Stay Near Managed Areas<\/h3>       <p>Families benefit from choosing a spot near toilets, showers, changing cabins and food points.

Choose a place near facilities, rent shade if needed, swim before the wind rises and save long walks for cooler parts of the day.

Choose the road-side entrance for flexibility, parking, children, beach bags and easier timing. Many repeat visitors try both because each route shows a different side of \u0130ztuzu.<\/p>     <\/div>     <div class=\"closing-points\">       <div class=\"closing-point\">Boat route: best for scenery<\/div>       <div class=\"closing-point\">Road route: best for flexibility<\/div>       <div class=\"closing-point\">Families usually prefer road access<\/div>     <\/div>   <\/div> <\/section>","embed":""},"listivo_28142":{"url":"<section id=\"iztuzu-beach-nearby\" aria-labelledby=\"iztuzu-beach-nearby-title\">   <style>     #iztuzu-beach-nearby,     #iztuzu-beach-nearby *,     #iztuzu-beach-nearby *::before,     #iztuzu-beach-nearby *::after{       box-sizing:border-box;

Boats move through reed-lined waterways, giving visitors a softer, slower arrival than the road route. It is the best pairing for travelers who want the beach to feel connected to the delta landscape, not just a separate swimming stop.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"attraction green\">       <div class=\"label\"><span><\/span> Kaunos Rock Tombs<\/div>       <h3>Dalyan\u2019s Signature Cliff View<\/h3>       <p>The temple-fronted rock tombs carved above the river are one of Dalyan\u2019s defining sights. Many visitors see them from boats or the riverfront before continuing toward \u0130ztuzu. They work especially well as a short visual stop for travelers who want history without committing to a long archaeological visit.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"attraction coral\">       <div class=\"label\"><span><\/span> Kaunos Ancient City<\/div>       <h3>Ruins Above the River<\/h3>       <p>Kaunos Ancient City adds depth to a Dalyan beach day, with ruins linked to the area\u2019s Carian and Mediterranean past. Visitors who enjoy archaeology can cross from Dalyan, walk toward the site and combine the ancient theater, baths, city remains and river views with a later beach swim.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"attraction yellow\">       <div class=\"label\"><span><\/span> DEKAMER<\/div>       <h3>Turtle Rescue and Awareness<\/h3>       <p>DEKAMER, near the road-side end of \u0130ztuzu, is the most meaningful turtle-related stop around the beach. It gives context to the nesting signs, protected zones and strict night-use rules visitors see on the sand. Families and nature-focused travelers often find it one of the area\u2019s most memorable stops.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"attraction amber\">       <div class=\"label\"><span><\/span> S\u00fcl\u00fcng\u00fcr Lake<\/div>       <h3>Quiet Water Behind the Coast<\/h3>       <p>S\u00fcl\u00fcng\u00fcr Lake sits behind the road route toward \u0130ztuzu and adds a peaceful inland contrast to the open beach. It is useful for scenic pauses, photography and a slower drive, especially for travelers reaching the beach by car or taxi rather than by Dalyan boat.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"attraction navy\">       <div class=\"label\"><span><\/span> Karg\u0131cak Bay<\/div>       <h3>A Quieter Coastal Alternative<\/h3>       <p>Karg\u0131cak Bay is a useful option for visitors who want a smaller, quieter coastal setting after seeing \u0130ztuzu.

The shore is long, sandy and exposed, with limited natural shade, hot sand in midsummer and protected turtle nesting areas that must be respected. Visitors should bring water, sun protection, sandals, a towel, cash or card, and enough patience for seasonal parking, boat schedules and facility queues.     <\/p>   <\/header>    <div class=\"tips-hero\">     <figure class=\"hero-media\" aria-label=\"\u0130ztuzu Beach accessibility and walking path image\">       <img         src=\"https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-wooden-walkway-loungers-10.webp\"         srcset=\"https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iztuzu-beach-ortaca-wooden-walkway-loungers-10.webp 1200w\"         sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 760px\"         width=\"1200\"         height=\"800\"         alt=\"Wooden walkway and loungers at \u0130ztuzu Beach showing visitor access across the sandy protected beach\"         loading=\"lazy\"         decoding=\"async\">       <figcaption class=\"hero-overlay\">         <b>Plan for sand, sun and protected access<\/b>         <p>Marked paths, managed areas and long sandy distances shape the practical experience, especially for families, older visitors and anyone carrying beach gear.<\/p>       <\/figcaption>     <\/figure>      <aside class=\"tips-panel\" aria-label=\"\u0130ztuzu Beach visitor tips\">       <div class=\"tips-panel-head\">         <h3>Before You Go<\/h3>         <p>A better \u0130ztuzu visit starts with simple preparation and respect for the protected beach setting.<\/p>       <\/div>        <dl class=\"facts\">         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Bring<\/dt><dd>Water, hat, sunscreen, sandals and towel<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Payment<\/dt><dd>Carry cash or card for parking, boat fares and rentals<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Shade<\/dt><dd>Limited away from rented umbrellas<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Access<\/dt><dd>Boardwalks and paths help, but soft sand remains<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Best Time<\/dt><dd>Morning for cooler sand and easier parking<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Boats<\/dt><dd>Check return times before settling in<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Rules<\/dt><dd>Stay away from marked turtle nests<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"fact\"><dt>Avoid<\/dt><dd>Night visits, littering and crossing protected zones<\/dd><\/div>       <\/dl>     <\/aside>   <\/div>    <div class=\"must-grid\" aria-label=\"What to bring to \u0130ztuzu Beach\">     <div class=\"must\"><b>Water<\/b><span>Heat Essential<\/span><\/div>     <div class=\"must\"><b>Sandals<\/b><span>Hot Sand<\/span><\/div>     <div class=\"must\"><b>Hat + Sunscreen<\/b><span>Limited Shade<\/span><\/div>     <div class=\"must\"><b>Cash or Card<\/b><span>Fees &amp; Rentals<\/span><\/div>   <\/div>    <div class=\"cards\">     <article class=\"card aqua\">       <div class=\"label\"><span><\/span> Accessibility<\/div>       <h3>Easy to Reach, Sandy Underfoot<\/h3>       <p>\u0130ztuzu is reachable for most visitors, but mobility comfort depends on the entrance used and the day\u2019s sand condition. The road-side entrance is usually more practical for visitors with limited mobility, strollers or heavy beach bags. Boardwalks and firm paths help in places, but soft sand can still make movement tiring.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"card green\">       <div class=\"label\"><span><\/span> What to Bring<\/div>       <h3>Pack for Heat and Distance<\/h3>       <p>Bring water, a hat, high-protection sunscreen, sandals, a towel, swimwear, sunglasses and a light cover-up. Families should add snacks, child sun protection, spare clothes and extra drinking water. Even when caf\u00e9s are open, the beach is long enough that carrying basics makes the day easier.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"card coral\">       <div class=\"label\"><span><\/span> Parking Tips<\/div>       <h3>Arrive Early by Road<\/h3>       <p>Drivers should arrive in the morning during July and August, before heat and parking pressure build.

A slower plan works better than a rushed beach-and-attraction checklist.<\/p>     <\/article>   <\/div>    <div class=\"wide-note\">     <h3>Practical Comfort on a Protected Beach<\/h3>     <p>       \u0130ztuzu\u2019s appeal comes from its protected, open character, not from dense resort infrastructure. Visitors should expect sand, sun, wind, seasonal facilities and conservation boundaries. A comfortable visit means staying near managed areas if facilities matter, using marked routes, packing lightly but intelligently and giving the turtle nesting zones a wide margin. Anyone visiting with children, older relatives or mobility concerns should favor the road-side entrance, arrive early and choose a base close to toilets, shade rentals and refreshments.     <\/p>   <\/div>    <div class=\"closing\">     <div class=\"closing-text\">       <h3>What Should Visitors Bring to \u0130ztuzu Beach?<\/h3>       <p>Bring water, sun protection, sandals, a towel, cash or card, and respect for marked turtle nests. \u0130ztuzu is easy to enjoy when visitors plan for heat, limited shade, soft sand, seasonal transport and protected beach rules.<\/p>     <\/div>     <div class=\"closing-points\">       <div class=\"closing-point\">Arrive early for easier comfort<\/div>       <div class=\"closing-point\">Use marked paths and protected routes<\/div>       <div class=\"closing-point\">Leave no litter and avoid nesting zones<\/div>     <\/div>   <\/div> <\/section>","embed":""},"listivo_28144":{"url":"<section id=\"iztuzu-beach-food\" aria-labelledby=\"iztuzu-beach-food-title\">   <style>     #iztuzu-beach-food,     #iztuzu-beach-food *,     #iztuzu-beach-food *::before,     #iztuzu-beach-food *::after{       box-sizing:border-box;

After returning from \u0130ztuzu, visitors can choose riverside restaurants, Turkish home-style cooking, grilled fish, meze, pide, kebabs and relaxed caf\u00e9s.

Even when caf\u00e9s are open, queues, heat and walking distance can make quick snacks useful. Baby supplies, special diets and picky-eater options are easier to handle if prepared before arrival.<\/p>     <\/article>   <\/div>    <div class=\"wide-note\">     <h3>Beach Lunch or Dalyan Meal?<\/h3>     <p>       A light beach lunch is convenient for visitors who want to stay on the sand for several hours, but Dalyan is usually better for a relaxed full meal. Road-side visitors can stop at local restaurants before or after \u0130ztuzu, while boat visitors often build food around Dalyan departure points, tour lunches or riverside restaurants on return. In peak summer, carrying water is essential, even if caf\u00e9s are open. The beach is exposed, the walk to facilities can feel longer in heat, and dehydration can spoil the day quickly.     <\/p>   <\/div>    <div class=\"closing\">     <div class=\"closing-text\">       <h3>Can You Eat at \u0130ztuzu Beach?<\/h3>       <p>Yes, visitors can usually find simple food and drinks at managed beach caf\u00e9s or snack points in season.

It lies between the Dalyan delta and the Mediterranean Sea, forming a long sandy barrier between freshwater wetlands and open-sea coastline.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"faq-item\">       <h3>How long is \u0130ztuzu Beach?<\/h3>       <p>\u0130ztuzu Beach is about 4.5 km long. Its length is one of its strongest features, giving visitors space for walking, swimming and quieter stretches while still keeping managed facilities near the main access points.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"faq-item\">       <h3>Why is \u0130ztuzu Beach called Turtle Beach?<\/h3>       <p>\u0130ztuzu Beach is called Turtle Beach because it is an important nesting area for loggerhead sea turtles, locally known as Caretta caretta. Marked nests, protection signs and night-access restrictions help protect eggs, hatchlings and nesting turtles.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"faq-item\">       <h3>Can you swim at \u0130ztuzu Beach?<\/h3>       <p>Yes, visitors can swim at \u0130ztuzu Beach during permitted daytime hours. The beach has a sandy shore and generally comfortable sea entry in calm weather, although wind can create choppier water on the open Mediterranean side.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"faq-item\">       <h3>Is \u0130ztuzu Beach sandy or pebbly?<\/h3>       <p>\u0130ztuzu Beach is mainly sandy, which makes it more comfortable for walking, sunbathing and family swimming than many rocky or shingle beaches on the Mu\u011fla coast. Sandals are still useful because the sand becomes hot in summer.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"faq-item\">       <h3>Is \u0130ztuzu Beach good for families?<\/h3>       <p>\u0130ztuzu Beach can be very good for families because it has sand, space, managed facilities and calm-water periods. Parents should arrive early, stay near toilets and shade rentals, bring water and keep children away from marked turtle nesting areas.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"faq-item\">       <h3>Does \u0130ztuzu Beach have toilets and showers?<\/h3>       <p>Yes, toilets, showers and changing cabins are usually available in managed facility areas. They are not spread evenly across the full 4.5 km beach, so visitors who need facilities should choose a spot near the main access points.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"faq-item\">       <h3>Are there sunbeds and umbrellas at \u0130ztuzu Beach?<\/h3>       <p>Sunbeds and umbrellas are usually available for rent in designated managed zones. Placement is controlled because \u0130ztuzu is a turtle nesting beach, so visitors should not place umbrellas, chairs or bags on protected nest areas.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"faq-item\">       <h3>Is \u0130ztuzu Beach free?<\/h3>       <p>\u0130ztuzu can be a low-cost beach visit, but total spending depends on how visitors arrive and what they use. Road visitors may pay for parking and rentals, while boat visitors pay boat transport separately. Food, drinks, sunbeds and umbrellas cost extra.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"faq-item\">       <h3>How do you get to \u0130ztuzu Beach from Dalyan?<\/h3>       <p>Visitors can reach \u0130ztuzu Beach from Dalyan by boat through the reed channels, by car, taxi or seasonal dolmu\u015f to the road-side entrance. The boat route is more scenic, while the road route is usually more flexible for families and drivers.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"faq-item\">       <h3>Can you visit \u0130ztuzu Beach at night?<\/h3>       <p>No, visitors should not treat \u0130ztuzu as a night beach. Night access is restricted during turtle protection periods because darkness and quiet are important for nesting turtles and hatchlings. Visitors should follow posted beach hours and conservation signs.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"faq-item\">       <h3>What should you bring to \u0130ztuzu Beach?<\/h3>       <p>Bring water, a hat, sunscreen, sandals, a towel, swimwear, cash or card, and any child supplies needed for the day. Shade is limited away from rental umbrellas, and walking distances feel longer in peak summer heat.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"faq-item\">       <h3>Is \u0130ztuzu Beach better by boat or by road?<\/h3>       <p>The boat route is better for scenery and the classic Dalyan river experience. The road route is better for parking, families, beach bags, early arrival and flexible departure. Many visitors choose based on whether atmosphere or convenience matters more.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"faq-item\">       <h3>What is near \u0130ztuzu Beach?<\/h3>       <p>Nearby places include Dalyan town, the Dalyan River, Kaunos rock tombs, Kaunos Ancient City, DEKAMER turtle rescue center, S\u00fcl\u00fcng\u00fcr Lake, Karg\u0131cak Bay and K\u00f6yce\u011fiz Lake. These make \u0130ztuzu easy to combine with a wider Dalyan day trip.<\/p>     <\/article>   <\/div>    <div class=\"closing\">     <div class=\"closing-text\">       <h3>Final Tip for Visiting \u0130ztuzu Beach<\/h3>       <p>Arrive early, choose boat or road access based on your travel style, stay near facilities if comfort matters, and respect every turtle-protection sign. \u0130ztuzu is at its best when treated as both a beach and a protected natural habitat.<\/p>     <\/div>     <div class=\"closing-points\">       <div class=\"closing-point\">Best for sand, swimming and nature<\/div>       <div class=\"closing-point\">Best access depends on your route<\/div>       <div class=\"closing-point\">Turtle rules shape every visit<\/div>     <\/div>   <\/div>    <script type=\"application\/ld+json\">   {     \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",     \"@graph\": [       {         \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",         \"@id\": \"https:\/\/travelshelper.com\/turkey\/places-in-turkey\/iztuzu-beach\/#faq\",         \"mainEntity\": [           {             \"@type\": \"Question\",             \"name\": \"Where is \u0130ztuzu Beach?\",             \"acceptedAnswer\": {               \"@type\": \"Answer\",               \"text\": \"\u0130ztuzu Beach is near Dalyan in the Ortaca district of Mu\u011fla, southwestern T\u00fcrkiye.
