KAPTAN JUNE'S HUT & PUBLIC RELATIONS CENTRE
Kaptan
June's Hut was returned to the beach in 2010. The hut has been renovated
and its mural restored. You find it in a lovely situation under the
shade of old pine trees on the eastern end of Iztuzu Beach, just 2
minutes away from the parking area.
Now that the Kaptan June Sea Turtle Conservation Foundation has
officially been recognized, the "Baraka" has become a small public
relations centre. You find a variety of keepsakes, some of which are
listed below.

KAPTAN JUNE AND THE DALYAN TURTLES:
paperback signed by author
This book is a true story of how June Haimoff, now in her 80’s and still
living in Dalyan, found herself in a fight to save a Caretta caretta
breeding site from exploitation for mass tourism. Dalyan is a very
special part of the world and Iztuzu Beach a spit of golden sand, is a
beautiful part of the Turkish coastline. A truly interesting and
historical place with Carian Rock Tombs and the ancient Roman City of
Caunos, overlooking the delta, beach and out to sea.
The story of Kaptan June, as she is known locally, is a gripping,
amusing and pragmatic account which is firmly placed in its local
setting. June tells the story of the campaign and how it divided the
locals. Apart from that she tells about Turkish village life and the
pleasures and pitfalls of life as a foreign woman in an Eastern culture.
