If "national park" makes you think long quiet walks in the beautiful landscape, think again. There is mainly beaches with restaurants and loud party boats along the shore. The only hiking route is unfortunately closed in the summer months due to forest fire hazards.

This is definitely a place to spend a whole day. We came in from the south, drove along the road but eventually it ends so you have to turn back. From the north there is an entrance fee 30TL per car. Driving along there are plenty of places to pull over and view. Some side roads where you drive down towards a beach with car park, WC, picnic tables showers. In November we had most beaches to ourselves. Insect repellent advised. Watch out for wild boar

Where the wild things are 🛵💨🔥🤘 Spending the day riding with my boys Matt and Kenny was awesome! We were going up through this national park's trails until we found out it was a military zone... We spent the day exploring this entire peninsula and eventually made our escape undetected from the military police on the other side of this beautiful national nature reserve 🤣😂🙈 While we were tearing up these super sweet trails we met a group of local Turkish guys breaking the curfew laws with their noble steeds. It was super good to catch up with these guys and watch them tear up the mountainside as they took off 🎉🎉🎉 Fantastic weather and great trails made this day really special sharing it with the buddies while we were on the bikes 💥🇹🇷💥

A calm, less crowded place to relax, water is so clean you can see through it. The shore is rocky though, so it’s a little painful getting to the water bare footed…

Dilek was closed today 23/07/2022. Officer say for a five days. Don’t go to Dilek to 27/07/2022

The wildlife and the views were amazing. The beaches had such clear water due to the pebbles and not sand. However on the beaches and the signposted eating areas are all picnic only and there are no areas inside to buy food and the much needed cold drinks!

A very nice and clean place. Thr entrance was 21tl for a car or 7tl for a bycicle. There are many beaches where you can stay, but I would recommend to get there as soon as they open the park (9am) so you can choose a spot with plenty of shade all day long. Many wild pigs around, but they are harmless. No fire alowed inside. Closses at 7pm.

National Park with a rich content in nature, sea, wilderness and good views, vibes, magical colors. Beaches are available for swimming. İt is quite a big park, so using a car or public transport is quite recommended. Bicycles are also a good choice but, still a long way to do. Entrance fee is different between walking or vehicle.

I think this is a "must see" national park in Turkey. Forest is beautiful. Roads are good. There are lots for hiking routes, and biking is fun too. You can see some pigs wondering around but they are harmless, just looking for food.

Last natural beautiful coastline in Westcoast. Forest and wildlife. Enjoy

Very pretty. We drove along the southern shoreline as far as we could.

Visit the area during weekdays. Beach is incredible. Nature is untouched. There is no need for any kind of air conditioning while resting under the trees.

Wonderfull experience. Nice crew. You should try boat trips.

Beautiful place. First entrance is a sandy beach, well suited for families with young children. The rest have rocky beaches with plenty of sea life and wooden sunbeds. Picnic tables, showers, clean toilets and changing cabins can be found throughout the areas suited for visitors in the forest.

Great visit, went on both a Jeep Safari and a boat trip. Both had amazing views, kids enjoyed themselves and got some nice family photos.

Buyuk Menderes National Park is a beautiful and large reserve on the Dilek Peninsula south of Kusadasi. The roads throughout the park are in excellent condition with great views of the Aegean Sea and surrounding mountains; the park offer side trip exits to some great shoreline for bathing - like Millê Beach. The park offers free entry and if you are lucky enough you can secure a little covered wood structure to picnic beneath while at the beach. But, watch out for the wild boars- kind like Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo Bear - they want your eats… so keep them secured. The Aegean Sea is sparkling clean here and the beaches are not sand but small tumbled rocks of marble, limestone and….like gems.

Petting the wild pigs was a great experience. They were really friendly. 😁 The place was crowdy, water temperature was nice.

Fantastic clear water with spectacular views.

Amazing park to become calm, whatch nature and just walk around

Nice views, dusty beaches. Road around the island open only partly.

You will enjoy with the fantastic view of the forest and sea.

Amazing views, road next to the sea, lots of well arranged space. Only flaw: no sand on the beach! Just big stones.

It is an amazing place. The harmony of seaside and forest is just beautiful.

So beautiful sea and landscape. Should visit at summer days
