Forest Camp

The forest camping in Akyaka is a cozy green area right by the sea, just a few minutes' walk from the center and at the very end of Akyaka beach. It is quiet, spacious, and always fresh: the perfect place to hide from the heat, take a break in the middle of the day, or go for a pleasant walk through the pine forest with beautiful views of the sea.

The main entrance to the campsite is from the highway. At the entrance, staff will help you choose a convenient spot and arrange entry for a small fee. In the forest campsite, you can set up a tent or stay in a motorhome/caravan. Depending on the duration of your stay, electricity can be connected to the tent or house.

Campsite guests can use all the necessary infrastructure: showers and toilets, a café/restaurant, a laundry, and a dishwashing area, as well as rent a refrigerator for the duration of their stay. This makes camping comfortable, while still keeping you close to nature and the sea.

The forest area in Akyaka hides several small, very beautiful bays. From the entrance to the campsite area and all the way to the end stretches a chain of pleasant bays: Albay Koyu, 72 Merdiven Koyu, and Akvaryum Koyu. Be sure to visit each one, dive into the clear cool water, and enjoy the panorama of Gökova Bay — one of the most picturesque in the Aegean region.

FAQ

When is the tourist season in Akyaka?

The season lasts from late April to late October. The high season is July-August: hot and crowded. The most comfortable months are May-June and September-October: warm sea, fewer people, lower accommodation prices.

What is Azmak?

Azmak is a short but very photogenic river with icy crystal clear water, the main natural attraction of Akyaka. Short boat tours run along the river, and fish restaurants operate on the shore. A large flock of geese, favorites of both locals and visitors, also lives here.

What are the conditions for kitesurfing?

At the kite beach of Akyaka, from May to October, a stable thermal wind of 14-20 knots blows. The shallow water with a sandy bottom, without waves, tides, and currents — the spot is ideal for both beginners and progress.

What does 'slow city' mean?

Akyaka has been part of the international Cittaslow network since 2011. This means a ban on high-rise buildings, a unified architectural style, the absence of chain restaurants and large all-inclusive hotels, and support for local businesses, cuisine, and crafts.

Are the beaches paid?

The city beach and most of the coastline in the center are free; you can come with your own towel. There is a paid entrance to the equipped kite beach. Some hotels and restaurants on the shore have their own beach areas with paid sunbeds, but this is not mandatory.
