Beschrijving

There are many habitat types in the Lake Bafa site. There are islands, mud flats, reed beds and so on. All these habitat structures attract many birds to the area, such as Tafeleend, Meerkoet ,Bastaardarend ,Havikarend, Kroeskoppelikaan and shore birds, terns, gulls and many more. It easy place to see birds from specific points such as observation towers, platforms or hills and even paved roads are suitable to see birds.

Lake Bafa is a protected area, so it has bird populations where you can get closer to them than in unprotected areas. There is Serçin Village where the abundance and diversity of birds is high, especially in winter and migration periods of the year. The islands in the lake have breeding populations of Aalscholver and Blauwe Reiger. Also, there are many monuments from Carians, especially around Kapıkırı Village. There is a small bay where the Heraklia take place, this bay can be covered by Meerkoet in winter. This bay has big flocks of birds in winter, nice spot to see birds among the monuments. Also, the Mount Latmos has one of the most beautiful and special landscape structure in the Aegean part of Turkey. Nice to be there!
