Entry & Public Areas: As they are official Nature Parks, a modest entrance fee (per person/vehicle) is collected by the General Directorate of National Parks. The area is well-equipped with fresh water fountains, showers, changing cabins, restrooms, and laundry/dishwashing areas for campers.

Katrancı Bay (A Camper's Paradise): Covered in dense pine forests that cascade down steep slopes, this is your number-one address if you want to camp with a tent or caravan in a safe, official area. Everything is thought out for camper comfort, from electricity hookups to refrigerator rentals. The sea consists of two coves; it is shallow, calm, warm, and clear as glass. The shore is a mix of fine sand and pebbles.

Günlüklü Bay (The Miracle of the Sweetgum Forest): What makes this place unique is the presence of Liquidambar (Sweetgum) trees, which are extremely rare in the world and emit a magnificent, perfume-like scent. The trees are so dense that even the sun rays barely reach the beach. Günlüklü’s shore is covered in golden fine sand, and the water is shallow. There is a chic restaurant-cafe on the beach and a boutique glamping/hotel concept that blends perfectly with the landscape.

Sunbeds & Picnics: You can rent umbrellas and sunbeds at both bays. You can also have a wonderful picnic at the wooden tables under the trees using food you’ve brought with you. (Please note that regulations on lighting barbecues are strictly enforced seasonally due to fire risks).
