visitor to our website in early July 2017. Aydinlar bay is the second public
beach area after you enter the national park, roughly 5 km inside. According to
the information we received after you reach the public beach you should keep
walking to your right towards the isolated rocky area where nude sunbathing is
also said to be possible after you are a considerable distance away from the
multitude. You can reach the National Park in various ways. You can take a
minibus leaving at regular hours from
