The golden sands and shallow waters of Iztuzu Beach make it an ideal day-trip destination from Turkey’s Aegean and Mediterranean coastal regions. However, what truly sets Iztuzu Beach apart is its role as a nesting ground for endangered loggerhead sea turtles. To protect this precious species, Turkey has implemented strict conservation measures, prohibiting construction along the beach. Other notable attractions in the area include the ancient hillside Rock Tombs, dating back to 400 BC. Visitors can also enjoy therapeutic baths, immersing themselves in mineral-rich sulfur mud—where the combination of sulfur and high temperatures (reaching 40°C) is believed to provide various health benefits.
