The beach is also a world-renowned paragliding destination, with enthusiasts launching from the nearby Babadağ Mountain to soar above this spectacular coastline.
Butterfly Valley
Kelebekler Vadisi, or Butterfly Valley, is a hidden paradise accessible only by boat or a challenging hiking trail. Named after the numerous butterfly species that inhabit the area, this secluded cove is surrounded by dramatic 350-meter-high cliffs.

Kayaköy - The Ghost Village

This atmospheric site offers visitors a glimpse into the past, with its crumbling buildings and peaceful ambiance creating a unique and contemplative experience.
