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.
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.
A turtle was found right by the escalator on the Konyaaltı promenade. Large lizards are also commonly seen there, and dolphins have been spotted from the shore.
Turtles have been regularly seen at the river in the Konyaaltı area in previous seasons, with locals visiting them daily.
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.
Land turtles have been reported in the Konyaaltı area, though sightings are not guaranteed and require some luck or local knowledge.
