Pamucak Mesire Yeri

About Pamucak Mesire Yeri

Pamucak Mesire Yeri is a forest picnic area near Pamucak, the long sandy coast west of Selçuk. The General Directorate of Forestry lists it among the official mesire (picnic and recreation) areas of İzmir province, at the Arvalya locality, run by the Bayındır forest enterprise through its Selçuk forest sub-district. Pamucak itself lies about 8 km from Ephesus in the direction of Kuşadası. İzmir Metropolitan Municipality describes it as known for its wide, unspoilt sandy beaches, so the picnic area makes a natural pairing with a beach day, with pine shade inland and the sea close by. Like other forest picnic sites in İzmir, it is subject to fire-season rules, and barbecues can be restricted in summer.
