2025 Akyaka Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#mediterraneanvibes 📍 Address: Akyaka Mahallesi, Ula District, Muğla Province, Türkiye The Azmak River in Akyaka is a stunning freshwater stream known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters, cool temperature, and lush greenery. Flowing gently past reeds and riverside restaurants, it’s a peaceful retreat for nature lovers and a must-see spot in southwestern Türkiye. ✨ Tips: • Take a short boat tour on the river to admire the underwater clarity and spot turtles and ducks. • Enjoy fresh seafood or meze at the riverside cafes, many with platforms over the water. • The water is cold year-round—perfect for a quick dip on a hot day, but bring water shoes for comfort. • Early morning is the best time for photos and birdwatching without the crowds. • Combine with a visit to Akyaka Beach or a walk through the Gökova Forest Reserve for a full nature experience. #AzmakRiver #Akyaka #GökovaBay #HiddenParadise #CrystalWaters #NatureEscape #RiverMagic #SlowTravelTürkiye #MuğlaDiscoveries #EcoTravelTurkey#localguides#historicallandmarks #历史古迹

#getgoing2025 you have to swim in the river with ducks !!!🦆 One of the best rivers I have ever seen and the Nature of this place is stunning 😍 My parents live close by so I didn't have to pay for any accomodations but it is a bit pricy in the summer. I believe it is best to came after summer. There would be less people but business would still be open. You can do tour of the river by boats and it was about 100lira and it is definitely worth it!

there was many dogs and they were soo sweet! the beach is sand#muğla

Turkey is not only good at landmarks that everyone has been to. Another famous thing in western Turkey that Turkish people like to visit in the summer is Akyaka. Here, the sea water is very clean and the view is beautiful. In the summer, it is often hard to find a seat because people come to reserve it, both campers and RVs. But cooking is not allowed here in the summer because it can easily cause forest fires. People tend to buy something easy to eat, such as breakfast.

Beaches are so amazing in Muğla, Marmaris 💜

If you are in Akyaka just for a few hours. My advice would be to take this boat trip. It will take only 20 minutes of your time, but it will make your day. You will start from the seaside and the boat will lazily go into the cold mountain river. The boat will struggle with the river current and will go quite slow so in the meantime, you have the opportunity to enjoy checking the beautiful environment. You will see lots of wildlife such as wild geese, ducks laying their eggs and sitting them, you will see snappers, living in that cold waters, and eucalyptus groves. There are lots of nice café set at the side of the river, you can pick one of them and go there after your trip is over. The price is 50 Turkish lira.#turkey #Akyaka #boattrip
