Places to see in Akyaka
Don't think about where to go in Akyaka, there are so many places to go and see...When you come to Akyaka, you should definitely see the Azmak Stream, known as Kadın Azmağı, whose waters are as clear as an aquarium. While eating your fish in the restaurants along Azmak Creek, you should watch the dancing freshwater fish and water snakes. You should see Sedir Island, also known as Cleopatra Island, and its different types of sand. The sands of Sedir Island are the kind of sands found only in two regions in the world and were specially brought there from Egypt for Cleopatra. It is the kind of sand that burns in fire. It is rumored that this kind of sand is also found in the Red Sea. You can also see the ruins of the ancient theater and Hellenistic period on Sedir Island. When you come to Akyaka, you should also see Çınar Beach, one of the most famous beaches of the town. If you want, you can reach this beach on foot in a very short time. If you are going on foot, the view will fascinate you. You can also visit Akyaka Village with its unspoiled nature. We recommend you to see the 4 km lovers' path surrounded by eucalyptus.
