DEKAMER

Every time we visit Dalyan and Iztuzu Beach we visit Dekamer, the Turtle Sanctuary. Thanks to these volunteers some turtles are saved from further harm. This year even more bassins were available for the injured animals. Keep up the good work.

An inspirational place to visit where volunteers are helping to save and rehabilitate injured endangered turtles. Well worth a visit as they showcase the hard work that they do to look after these beautiful creatures. The area around the sanctuary is also peaceful and beautiful.

please visit and donate to this rehabilitation centre. they are doing great work with a limited budget. you can see some injured turtles in the area

It is an amazing place with amazing people who are trying to help out the turtles they do amazing work and there are some fascinating facts and information about turtles would recommend to go as well as the beach.

Fantastic work by the volunteers and staff here providing valuable information and taking time to explain to the public on the dangers to the sea creature the turtle and prevention taken. They rescued many turtle that were injured and in distressed. If you are going to the Iztuzu beach, pop in here. The sand at the Iztuzu beach is very soft and nice and the sea water is shallow for around a mile! Very safe for kids to swim and play in the sea here. There is a restaurant nearby and lots of parking too.

This sanctuary is truly doing wonderful work by helping turtles which have either been injured by the propellers on boats or have buoyancy issues due to the amount of plastic they have consumed. Volunteer Anna from Uruguay was really great at explaining why each turtle was there. The good news was that one was close to ready for release as she was better. Some very sad stories as well so be prepared. This place is free to visit but be sure to leave a donation so that this marvellous work can continue. The volunteers and doctors keep this place running.

Great work being done here to help injured turtles. Free to enter but please donate towards keeping the centre going. Get close up to these beautiful creatures and purchase souvenirs.

Nice place to visit to get up close to turtles. They are doing a great job helping injured turtles get back into the wild. Little museum with lots of info don't forget to donate some money as this is a none profit making organisation. Will return again as it is still great to see the Caretta Caretta and green turtles.
