Dilek National Park

The Dilek Peninsula is where the Samsun Mountains meet the Aegean Sea 35 south of Kusadasi, creating a place with unique wildlife and impressive geological formations. This is one of the most important and protected natural areas in Turkey, and also one of Europe’s Flora Biogenetic Reserve Areas. Why? The nature of Dilek is ancient and untouched, making a natural habitat for a few different ecosystems to thrive and live together in harmony. The diversity and uniqueness is present in the flora and fauna, as well as the natural landscapes of Dilek. There are 804 different types of plants, and six of them you can only find in Dilek. The Mediterranean maquis flora is well preserved and has all examples of the plant species of the Mediterranean scrub biome. Dilek is also home to all of the Mediterranean fish and sea turtles, and there are plenty of reptiles, mammals and birds to observe. Among the most extraordinary animals that live in Dilek are the Anadolu Parks and Monk Seal. This national heritage is one of the best preserved wildlife areas in Turkey, so the overnight stays are strictly forbidden. You can still book a cottage in close proximity to Dilek, and go there for a hike or just a relaxing day outside. Cool off in the crystal blue waters, enjoy the sun and walk on the sandy beaches, marvel at the beautiful vistas and immerse in nature. Next to the special collection of national wonders, the Dilek National Park is also a place for cultural trips. You can visit museums, ancient cities and picturesque villages with traditional Greek and Turkish architecture. But there’s another place where you can witness the ancient architecture and mysterious sites of Anatolia, and it’s the Goreme National Park.

Goreme National Park

Located in Central Anatolia, The Goreme National Park is an extraordinary place with a vast network of mysterious landscapes. The area was covered in tuff from many volcanoes, after which the landscape was sculpted by water and wind erosions. This created plenty of fairy chimneys that are now the most famous feature of the rocky area. Visit the Rock Site of Cappadocia to observe the remarkable vistas. The Goreme National Park and the Rock sites of Cappadocia are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The place became a living area since the Paleolithic Era, with hundreds of ancient interconnecting underground settlements, cities, and churches. The first place to visit when going to Cappadocia is the Goreme Open Air Museum. It’s a complex of Byzantine monasteries, each having its own unique rock-out church, art, and chapel. The park is also characterized by plateaus and hills, with many rivers and thrashing streams that go through the land to create deep rocky valleys. The drought of the area allows 114 endemic species of grassy steppe plants like Juniper, Wild Almond, and the Hawthorn. Still, along the humid valleys you can also find woody species such as the Aspen Willow, Gilaburu, and Honeysuckle. As for the resident animal life, you can encounter wolves, badgers, coyotes, red foxes and bats, along with some birds like the stork, hawk, pigeons, and eagles.
