Bird-watching(Ornithology)
Turkey, situated at the crossroads of three continents, forms a bridge between the reproductive areas of birds in the north and their winter nests in the south. One of the most important stops for birds along this route is lzmir-Cesmealti. This area was declared a natural heritage region in 1985, offering the possibility of natural and cultural activities.
"Kus Cenneti," Bird Paradise National Park, near Bandirma, is another important example where natural and cultural values coexist. This area provides different environments. Bird Paradise is a real heaven both for bird-lovers and ornithologists. Important places where different bird types exist include: Buyuk Menderes Delta, Lake Seyfe (near Kirsehir), Sultan Marshes (near Kayseri) and Goksu Delta (near Silifke).
