Description
Afkule is an area of forest, mountains, and sea. The forest is home to mainly smaller birds, from Karatavuk and Kızılgerdan to Maskeli Ötleğen and Çalıkuşu. At the lookout point, you'll find birds like Kaya sıvacısı and Kaya kırlangıcı, as well as larger birds like Kuzgun, Şahin, Gök doðan and Saz delicesi. It's a short trail that is beautiful in itself, but with the bird sounds you experience an even greater sense of wilderness.

Access
Afkule is located 15 km southwest of the town of Fethiye. Parking depends on the weather. If it's dry (enough), you can reach the hiking trail by car or sturdy scooter. If not, you'll need to park well in advance. The last part is definitely on foot, a bit of a scramble over uneven and hilly terrain. Press "P" on the map for directions to a parking spot.
