| 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. |
