Accesso
You can go there by car. Best way to explore Kızılırmak Delta is car. However, the roads on the delta are not good always, especially in the rainy season the roads are muddy and you cannot reach every spot that you want to go. Sometimes it is even impossible to walk on the muddy roads. On the other hand, you can park in several places if they are dry enough. However, you should take into account that in the eastern part, from Lake Balık to Lake Liman, there is a prohibited road to use. For the touristic purposes, there should be regulations that might block you to go futher deep into delta especially by car.
