No, you cannot. It is strictly prohibited to light fires and barbecues in open areas due to regulations for preventing forest fires and nature conservation rules in both the natural beach area in Kuyucak and the organized camping and picnic areas in the forested region.

Question 4

Is Akyaka Izci Camp Suitable for Winter Camping?
