It's approximately 7 kilometers from Iztuzu Beach and 15 kilometers from Dalyan center. You can reach the bay by road with your own vehicle or by boat. The last 3-4 kilometers of the road leading to Kargıcak Bay is a rather bumpy, narrow dirt road. Careful and slow driving is essential along the way. Kargıcak Bay owes its tranquility, silence, and its ability to remain unspoiled and unspoiled, partly to its bumpy roads! The sea in Kargıcak Bay is turquoise and clear. You can easily see the bottom and the fish, resembling an aquarium. The water is salty and cooler than the surrounding beaches. It deepens easily. It has a sandy beach with large pebbles. In short, the sea in Kargıcak Bay is wonderful! And the best thing to do here is to enjoy the water! Kargıcak Bay is a lush green bay adorned with trees. It is also very suitable for nature walks.

With its cool waters and calm sea, this bay, visited by only a few people, is ideal for those seeking a peaceful holiday. It is located approximately 20-25 kilometers from Dalyan. Since part of the road is not paved, it takes about 30 minutes to reach Aşı Bay from Dalyan. Aşı Bay can be reached by land with your own vehicle and by sea with boat tours.
