Guzelcamli

For those who want a quieter more nature intensive pace then Guzelcamli is for you. The centre is a smalll village with a smattering of shops of restaurants and buzzes on a Monday when the market comes to town.

Guzelcamli is the home to one of Turkeys National parks, a real thing of beauty that stretches for miles along the peninsular. The national park can't be done in one day, you'll want to keep returning simply to explore. There are 3 beaches and hidden walkways to more secluded ones in the park, picnic areas galore. You can also take a gullet trip to the more out of the way parts. Enter the park by car, dolmus, bike, on foot or by horse (camel as well I'd imagine!).

The beach at Guzelcamli is sandy and as previously said goes on for miles, you will never be fighting for a space as you lounge the day away soaking up all that glorious sun. It's great for the kids too as the water is about a foot deep for a mighty long way, not to mention of course that it's crystal clear! Throughout the day walkers sell their simits (bread rings) and mussels and corn on the cob as well as drinks and with restaurants directly on the front you won't have to move far. The summer houses a night market that opens through the night when it's cooler. Trampolines, bumper cars and live entertainment  are all available.

For those with a taste for adventure there is para gliding, jeep safari's, diving, fishing (a whole days fishing costs about 10 YTL, £4 thereabouts).
