Serik – Ovacik Highland, Antalya Turkey

Transportation: Seven kilometers of the 36 km. drive from Serik is asphalt, the rest of the road is gravel. Another way to get there is by taking the Serik – Antalya highway, and when you have gone 8 km. take the right (north) passing through the villages of Candir, Alacami and Etler. It is a total of 48 km.

Description: The view from the road as you leave the citrus groves of Serik and begin climb among the pines is impressive. The panoramic vista of the Mediterranean that you have at the entrance to the highland village of Nanali is like something you would expect to find in a postcard shop. It is surrounded on every side by steep forested slopes, the Ovacik highland has no facilities. The banks of the stream which runs through this pristine meadow makes a good camping spot. One will also find the ruins of an ancient castle here.

Accommodation – Food and Drink: Those who plan on camping should bring their own tents and other basic supplies.
