No public transportation, only reachable via private car. The main entrance is from Kavakarası village (check the map for details).
Kavakarası Sweetgum Forest is a wet forest patch with many small streams. The water can be high in rainy seasons, but not much to effect access. There are many citrus gardens in the forests, which are private lands. Locals are hospitable but better be deliberate. Some species such as kobilar and divja grlica prefer the canopy of high trees around the citrus trees, check these locations carefully. You can come up with lesna sova near to entrance of the area.
