The ideal
place to escape from town fuss and noise is a well-merited
rest and beach afternoon in the national park (since 1960's)
of Kalamaki in the "Dilek Peninsula". Located
approx. 30 km South of Kusadasi, it is only 1-2 km far from
the Greek island Samos.
The Kalamaki
beaches count several bays of which the most important ones
are Icmeler (1st bay and only sandy one), Kavakli and
Karapinar. Winters are mostly rainy and Summers dry. This
explains that water sources are the main place where fauna
gathers for drinking. The most dense specie is the wild pig
so do not be bewildered when you see a wild pig family
wandering around in the afternoon.
Due to its clean
environment, Kalamaki is also ideal for picnics. All
necessary facilities have been thought of : water from the
mountains, lavatory and picnic tables and benches. And while
you walking around, according to the season, look at the
various kinds of flowers in almost any color and do hesitate
to taste the wild strawberries.
How
to Go?...To
reach the National Park, you can take a
minibus leaving at regular hours from the bus station
(opposite the Friday Market) or join an organized tour.
You will soon understand it is worth going !
