Based on 2 discussions with 7 participants · Last activity: 21 days ago

TL;DR

Wild turtles can be spotted in the Konyaaltı area — near the escalator, around the zoo and stables, on the beach in the evening, and near the waterpark.

What the community said

A turtle was spotted near bungalow/cabin 27 on the way to the waterpark — reportedly a different species from the beach ones. Another turtle was found the same evening on the beach after a show.

Land turtles can be found just past the stables near the zoo in Konyaaltı. Walking a bit further beyond the stables increases the chances of spotting large ones on the ground.
