This beauty of the mother nature is in Guzelcamli town, which is 23 km away from Kusadasi centrum. One must surely see the Kalamaki beaches, count of several bays the most important ones being Icmeler, Kavakli and Karapinar. Here you can see different species of plants, birds, flowers and wild animals. Içmeler, the largest bay of the parc and the nearest to the entrance, has the only sandy beach, since the water is shallow here, is prefered by families with children.

The park offers many alternatives for its visitors. There are public lavatories, showers, drinking water fountains, and wooden picnic tables and chairs in the woods besides the restaurants in the bays just in case if you prefer proper meals instead of having a picnic with cold food that you bring along because it’s absolutely forbidden to light fires in the park.

If you don’t like swimming you can go for a walk amongst the pine, linden and chestnut trees to see the Dalmatian pelikan, pygmy cormorant, and if you are lucky the wild horses, go rock climbing, or fishing.
