Nature Places Map
Nature in Turkey:
Oludeniz PlajI
Bring your own beach chair if you can... Renting one can eat into your budget, but laying on a towel can feel a bit rough after a while on the sand
Ladies Beach
If you plan on swimming, bring some water shoes. The beach has some rocky patches, and it’s not the most foot-friendly. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later!
Uzungol
Ilica Beach
Kleopatra Beach
I recommend checking out the beach bars for lunch. The prices are reasonable and the food is generally good plus you can enjoy the view while munching on a snack!
Damlatash Cave
The entry fee is pretty reasonable, but bring cash as card payments weren't accepted when I visited. Just a heads up so you’re not caught off guard!
Bring a light jacket or sweater, as the cave can get surprisingly cool. I was a bit chilly during my visit, and I wish I had prepared for that
Kursunlu Waterfall
Inkaya Historical Plane Tree
Gulhane Park
Don't rush through it! Take your time to explore different corners of the park - there are sometimes hidden spots that offer beautiful views and photo ops!
Make sure to wear comfortable shoes. The pathways are lovely but can get a bit uneven - I wish I had left my flip-flops at home!
There's a little cafe in the park that has great views. I suggest stopping by for a cup of Turkish tea; it’s not pricey and the ambiance is just fab.
