Elsewhere along the coast near the neighboring city of Mugla, a total of 60 migrants were rescued on Monday, the coastguard said, showing images of people, including toddlers, rescued from makeshift rubber boats.
The nationalities of the migrants were not immediately clear.
Greek authorities had pushed some of the migrants back towards Turkey, the coastguard said.
Turkey has been a major transit route for migrants, particularly from neighboring Syria, trying to reach Europe by boat.
