Sarigerme Beach: a day at your own pace
An independent day at Sarigerme Beach lets you decide how long to stay. This option is not a tour booking: check your own transport, beach entry conditions and any services you want to use. This comparison does not imply that transport or beach facilities are free.
Iztuzu Beach and turtle hospital: the half-day tour
Hotel pick-up by air-conditioned vehicle is at 10:30. Pick-up at Iztuzu for the return journey is at 12:30. Plan for a half-day excursion; do not treat 12:30 as the time you will arrive back at your hotel. Read the current tour description before booking for details of the beach and turtle hospital visit.
The half-day Iztuzu tour is not the full-day Dalyan tour
The full-day itinerary featuring the Dalyan river, rock tombs and mud baths is a separate tour. Do not assume these stops form part of the half-day Iztuzu Beach and turtle hospital excursion. Check the tour name, itinerary and included/not included lists together before booking.
Which option suits your plans?
An independent Sarigerme beach day may suit you if you want to choose when to go, when to leave and how long to spend on the beach. Consider the half-day tour if you want to visit Iztuzu Beach and the turtle hospital with set pick-up and return arrangements. For a river trip and mud baths as well, look at the separate full-day Dalyan itinerary.
What to confirm before booking
Share your date, hotel name, group size and the ages of any children. Confirm the pick-up point, included services, entry fees and visiting conditions before booking. This guide does not add a promise of pick-up from every hotel, suitability for every age or inclusion of every service in the price.
A short beach-day checklist
Bring swimwear, a towel, sun protection and your personal essentials. If taking the tour, plan around the 12:30 return pick-up at Iztuzu. Follow staff guidance at the turtle hospital; do not expect guaranteed sightings of a particular animal or contact with animals. Confirm current arrangements with the tour team before setting off.
