Revealing the mysterious waters of Western Anatolia and the magnificent dance of history and nature, Dilek Peninsula Büyük Menderes Delta National Park invites its visitors to a fascinating journey. These lands, which have preserved their natural structure for centuries, are not just national parks with their rich biodiversity and magnificent scenery. It is also a living witness of this geography, which is the cradle of civilization! Let's take a closer look at the Dilek Peninsula Büyük Menderes Delta National Park, which is located near Kuşadası that looks like a paradise.
Located at the last point where Dilek Mountain extends to the Aegean Sea, Dilek Peninsula Büyük Menderes Delta National Park is located within the borders of Aydın province on an area of 27,675 hectares. Part of this area, on the borders of Söke and Didim, belongs to the Dilek Peninsula and part of it belongs to the Büyük Menderes Delta.
The last point of the Samsun Mountains extending towards the Aegean Sea is the Dilek Peninsula section of the National Park. Samos Island is across this section, which is one of the Aegean islands of Greece. There are various bays within the national park. Let's take a closer look at the most beautiful bays of the region.
At the first bend of the entrance road, you can see İçmeler Bay from a bird's eye view, at the point where the valley formed by Horoz Dere reaches the sea. This is the first bay you will encounter. The beach is covered with pine trees, shrubs, and individual plane trees. It stands out as the most preferred beach due to its ease of transportation and sandy nature. There is a country casino, a sales kiosk, three toilet buildings and a 40-ton water tank in the bay. The facilities on the beach can serve 1200 people daily.
The second bay, which is on a slightly sloping, almost flat land, is Aydınlık Bay. The sea of this bay is stony in the first two meters and then sandy. The sea gets deep quickly. There is a country casino, a sales kiosk, three toilet buildings and a 50-ton water tank in the bay. Aydınlık Bay, the second longest beach of the national park, consists of pine and plane trees, as well as shrubs in places. The facilities on the beach can serve 1000 people daily. This is the most popular day trip area after İçmeler Bay.
Kavaklıburun Bay is the longest beach in the National Park. The beach is covered with poplar trees, shrubs, and pines. You may want to enter this bay, whose sea and beach are stony with sea shoes. You can admire the clean and clear water of this bay. In the slightly hilly area, there is a country casino, a sales kiosk, four toilet buildings and a 50-ton water tank. The facilities on the beach can serve 1500 people daily.
Karasu Bay, which is furthest from the entrance, is covered with some pine trees, individual old plane trees and dense shrubs. There is a sales kiosk, a toilet building and a 25-ton water tank in the bay. The facilities, located on partially rugged terrain, can serve up to 800 people per day. This is the closest visitable area to Samos Island. Since it is a military zone beyond here, it is not allowed to visit.
You can benefit from the services of private businesses on the beaches, or you can spread your towel and swim from wherever you want. If you wish, you can bring your food from home and use the picnic tables under the shade of the trees. You can see dolphins, Mediterranean monk seals, Dalmatian pelicans, and many other animals up close in the National Park area.
You can enter the National Park by paying a certain fee, provided that you comply with the entrance and exit times. The region, which you can reach by private vehicles, by walking, or by using public transportation, can also be visited by boat tours during the summer. Along the way, you can see breathtaking pine forests on the left and the magnificent Aegean Sea view on the right. You can enjoy the magnificent view and take photos from the observation terraces in some places.
