Saklikent National Park

I'd suggest starting your visit around 9 AM. It's less crowded and the weather is cooler for exploring.

If you're planning to walk through the gorge, wear waterproof shoes. Trust me, you'll get wet! Those river crossings can be a splash zone!

grab a cheap lunch from the local cafés nearby. there's nothing like fresh gözleme while enjoying the river views
Yaka

Make sure to wear comfortable shoes! The trails can be rocky, and I definitely regretted wearing sandals during my visit. You want to explore without worrying about your feet!

If you’re interested in photography, bring a good camera! The views are stunning, and the golden hour before sunset gives you amazing lighting – trust me, it's worth it!

I recommend visiting Yaka early in the morning around 8 AM to beat the crowds and enjoy the serenity of the park. It really adds to the experience!
Ugur Mumcu Park

I suggest visiting around 5 PM when the weather cools down and you can catch a beautiful sunset. Plus, it’s less crowded, so you can really enjoy the peaceful vibe

My advice is to bring some snacks or a picnic. There aren’t many food stalls nearby and you’ll want to savor the lovely atmosphere without needing to leave for food.
Katranсi Bay Nature Park

I think the views are best if you hike up around 5 PM when the sun starts to set. It was absolutely stunning, and the crowds were way thinner compared to midday
I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks. The park has some cafes, but trust me, they are a bit overpriced. I saved a nice chunk of change by just packing a picnic!
