Patara Beach: which is a national park some 18-20 km of sand has mountains at each end and sand dunes along its length as well as a marsh that was once a harbour. Home too many birds as well as being a breeding ground for loggerhead turtles. It is a gorgeous place to relax, enjoy the sun and swim.
The Iztuzu sandbar (Dalyan): separates the sea from the channel; it stretches for 5km from the channel mouth. The fine sand and shallow sea make it a perfect place to spend some time soaking up the sun. It is also one of the few places so that the endangered loggerhead turtles (Caretta Caretta) make their nests therefore it is closed to the public after 8:00pm to allow the turtles to come ashore and lay their eggs.
