Not far from Kusadasi is the Dilek National Park. Most of this reserve is closed to tourists as a military zone. The most frequently visited section is a 10 km stretch of road that runs past four beautiful pebbly beaches. Here you can see representatives of the Mediterranean flora - chestnut groves with dry bushes. The park is home to Anatolian cheetahs and wild horses, the only ones left in Turkey.
The central entrance to the Dilek National Park is located on the outskirts of the village of Guzelcamli, 18 km south of the city of Kusadasi. At the very beginning of the park, visitors are greeted by the cave of Zeus - the local Wailing Wall.
The park is famous for its excellent pebble beaches: Aydinlyk-Koyu, Kavakly-Burun and Karasu. Two ancient cities are also interesting: Panonion and Tebai, located in the park. These cities are hidden by the powerful spur of the Samsun Mountains, but are accessible by mountain bike or on foot. The local monastery of Panagia is also curious. Among the architectural and cultural monuments of the park are the Filikli Castle and the Harap Church, both objects are made in Greek and Turkish architectural styles.
