What it's like
Doğanbey is a historic Aegean town with Greek architecture, set inside Dilek Peninsula National Park. Its old Greek houses give it a character that differs from the Turkish town of Kuşadası nearby.
A visit is short. Walk the old streets, look at the Fauna Museum, and head to Şorlak Waterfall in the park area.
Good to know
- Dolmuş minibuses run the coast strip; flag one down heading in your direction.
