Upon arriving at Tekmen's center, one must take the main road behind and navigate through the side roads to reach the mountain's peak. Following the road up to the electricity pole, which no longer holds a transformer, leads to a lengthy path that descends towards the valley on the left. Any right turns will lead to a dead end and the fire road does not connect to the valley. The route is moderately challenging, covering an estimated distance of 2 kilometers one way. Upon reaching the valley in the evening, I was the sole inhabitant and opted to stay overnight in a tent. The serene surroundings and crystal-clear waters made for a tranquil experience that I would gladly repeat. Ample wood is available for a campfire, but caution is advised.
The village, now a neighborhood, is absolutely stunning with its pristine and breathtaking sea, along with the friendly locals who embody the warmth of the Mediterranean. Typically, you'll find summer houses owned by people from Central Anatolia.
The beach is situated in close proximity to the ocean, offering a serene and tranquil atmosphere for visitors. It also provides the opportunity for tennis enthusiasts to indulge in their favorite sport while enjoying the scenic beauty of the beach. The beach is well-maintained, ensuring a clean and hygienic environment for all.
