historical plane tree - It is nice to drink tea under the approximately 2000-year-old plane tree. Tea was 10 TL, black mulberry drink was 40 TL and it was very nice. There is also a place selling local products.

For an Authentic Turkish Experience - After spending days on the beach or having had numerous boat trips, one could need a simple road trip to the nearby villages where mother nature is awaiting for everyone to embrace them and feed them with beauty and affection. The day starts with a stop at Jesus Beach, an amazing natural reserve where one can walk in the water from one side of the beach to the other. You can also take photos with the beautiful parrots there! Then, you will have a stop at a nearby mosque where the tour guide will explain the Islamic religious rituals and traditions. The next stop was actually my favorite: You will be able to closely observe how women villagers produce carpets! It is mind-blowing! In fact, the carpet industry is very well-known in Turkey, and having the chance to actually meet the master minds behind it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! After that, you will walk up a mountain to a wonderful location where you will be able to see the breathtaking waterfalls and take unique photos. Finally, you will have lunch in an old traditional restaurant! The only problem that I have personally faced was in bus as the air conditioner was not functioning.
