What to see

A road runs along the north shore of the park to a series of coves — İçmeler, Aydınlık, Kavaklı Burun and Karasu — with clear water, pebbles and pine woods behind. The higher mountain is home to wildlife and closed sections.

A full day with swimming. Arrive early in summer, when parking at the coves fills up.

National parks charge under the DKMP tariff; the category of this park was not read for this page.

Getting there

About 25 km south of Kuşadası via Güzelçamlı; dolmuş minibuses run from Kuşadası to Güzelçamlı and, in summer, into the park.
