One of the most important bird areas of the Mediterranean, with the Akgöl and Paradeniz lagoons, dunes and reed beds.

Safety warning

It is a protected area; during the turtle nesting season (May–September) follow the beach rules, and take precautions against mosquitoes.

Its story

The delta where the Göksu River flows into the sea is a Special Environmental Protection Area and a Ramsar site. Purple swamphens, flamingos and many migratory bird species are seen in the lagoons and reed beds; the beaches are nesting areas for sea turtles. Observation towers and paths are suitable for birdwatching.
