Katranci Forest

This is the worst managed camping site we have ever been to. When we arrived at the entrance, they informed us that it was fully booked and there was no space available unless we had made a reservation. I found it hard to believe and asked if I could check on foot. However, they said I would have to pay to do so. Eventually, I paid 210 Turkish Lira for a day stay and went to the management to politely request a spot. They took me to a caravan parking area where at least 5-6 large caravans could fit, and there was even electricity. But here's the strange part: I had to pay an additional 35 Turkish Lira for an overnight stay. The pricing didn't make sense. However, the next day, someone approached us and informed us that the pipe on the ground was meant for emptying toilet cassettes, but we couldn't do it while having breakfast. This was a clear example of very poor management. The person who had brought me here and allowed me to park right next to the pipe didn't even mention this. In fact, this should be reported to the Ministry of Tourism.

The path leading down to the campground is quite long and winding. The beach is very crowded, making it a bit challenging to find parking. However, despite the large number of people, the beach itself is beautiful. There is also a restaurant available, which is situated in a lovely spot.

The beach, the view, and the sea are fantastic, but the camping area is disorganized and untidy. It would be beneficial if they addressed this issue. Certain individuals park their caravans too close to the sea, obstructing the view for others. The facilities are not excellent, but the camp does have a wide range of supplies. These problems could be resolved with some adjustments and upkeep. Overall, it's a pleasant place to be.

Located far from the hustle and bustle and free from any unsightly mess, this lovely beach boasts a charming bay that can be enjoyed for a small fee. Whether you're looking for accommodation options or simply planning to drop by for a refreshing swim, there are plenty of choices available to suit your needs.

Unfortunately, this beach has been ruined by the influx of tourists. The water appeared to have a layer resembling a mixture of orange juice and oil, and it was heavily polluted. Despite its small size, the beach was overcrowded with campers. It is not worth paying the TL24 car entrance fee.
