There will be an excavation of a turtle nest tonight, Sunday 14th August.





The baby turtles will be released into the sea when it is dusk.







Meet at Guzelyali Restaurant at 7.00pm, Karsiyaka beach.



Everyone is welcome.







Please remember that no flash cameras are allowed, when turtles are walking towards the sea.

this is just an amazing experience, we were so lucky to be there last year andhelped release two turtles to the sea.....it was a lovely warm feeling to know that the seagulls, foxes etc were not going to get this little gang....!! If you can get there I thoroughly recommend you go, you wont be disappointed......I named mine Hope and hubby named his Duncan Goodhew..........x

Went a couple of weeks ago with the children. Fantastic experience for them. My little girl said it was the best thing on our holiday!!!! (my son preferred the waterpark but you can't have everything...lol)

Get there if you can to support the great work the guys do.
