We DID see Turtles although very small, not the Logerhead types that you see in Rhodes. In my opion i am glad that they are not seen in Turkey, as the ones that we saw in Rhodes were surrounded by boats and seemed very confused...we were both very distressed and ashamed at witnessing this awful spectacle. Much like the Dolphin topic! The trip to Dalyan is,however, beautiful. We got into canoes at the Rock Tombs and made our own way down the river to the sea. We paddled along the river and saw small turtles and snakes amongst the reeds. This is where it is said that the "African Queen" was filmed (although i doubt it) it certainly looks the same.
I think mabe you should read Terrapins in the places where i have posted Turtles
