Turtles are reptiles which can live in water or on land. Turtles aren't amphibious; most turtles cannot breath water at any stage of their life cycle, but the common musk turtle has tiny specialized bumps on their tongue called papillae that allow these turtles to draw in oxygen through them.
Also, the side-necked turtles of Australia have specialised cavities in their rear, known as cloacal bursae, to draw in water and remove the oxygen. This info can be found on the BBC web page at the link below.

Turtles are reptiles, order "Testudines".
A tortoise is classified as a reptile. It is born from an egg that is fertilized internally. Their eggs are laid and hatch on land. The skin of reptiles is covered with scales. Amphibians lay eggs in water and are fertilized there. They hatch in water and the young live for a time in water breathing through gills. After a time of development, the lungs develop, the body changes for living on land and the animal usually divides its time between land and water.
All turtles and tortoises are Reptiles.
Amphibians have slimy, wet skin on their bodies while reptiles have scales.
Amphibians are mostly found near, in, or around water souses. Some Reptiles live in very arid habitats.
