OVERVIEW

Become immersed in the natural beauty of Dilek National Park while hiking a botanical trail and then relax with a break at the beach. A knowledgeable guide will lead the way and point out the more outstanding plant species, many of which are endemic to the area. In particular, this is one of the few places in southern Turkey where the Anatolian chestnut grows. You may also walk through forests of holm oaks, dotted with Phoenician juniper. Wild boars are often spotted in the park and on occasion wild horses. You will have the chance to observe the blue waters of Zeus Cave – whose entrance olive trees nearly obscure – before finalizing your adventurous day at a beach nearby. The ambiance will be immensely inviting and peaceful, making it easy to unwind and do nothing more strenuous than read a favorite book. Shorebirds such as pygmy cormorants and Dalmatian pelicans are abundant.
