Holiday In Beach

Kas is a really lovely, relaxed old fishing village with few or no package tourists in evidence and easy access to some excellent little beaches a few minutes away on the gorgeous winding coast road. There are sufficient little hotels and interesting restaurants. It’s an hour from Kalkan.

Kaputas is a mountain gorge with a small shingle cove beach under a bridge crossing the gorge, with a steep set of steps up/down to the beach,and a steep drop off into the clear blue sea. It’s a 10 minute dolmus [bus] ride from the hill village of Kalkan, a harbour town with colourful restaurants and terraced bars overlooking the not particularly attractive marina.
2.5 hrs from Dalaman Airport.

No one can say that Iztuzu Beach, 13 km from Dalyan on Turkey’s Mediterranean Coast, is undiscovered.

After all, loggerhead turtles (carretta carretta) discovered it eons ago.

But it’s so big and so distant from big cities that it never seems crowded.

If you want to get away from the madding crowds on the beach, just walk a few minutes farther west to your own little section of sand.

Minibuses and excursion boats run daily from Dalyan to the beach. I prefer the excursion boats (naturally).

I consider Iztuzu to be one of Turkey’s best beaches
