Yaka Mesire Yeri

About Yaka Mesire Yeri

Yaka Mesire Yeri is a forest picnic area in Yaka Mahallesi, Güzelbahçe, on the inland side of the district south of the coast. It appears on the İzmir Governorship's official list of the province's picnic areas (mesire yerleri) and nature parks, under the Güzelbahçe forestry office of the Gaziemir forestry directorate. Local press describes it as a green, tree-shaded spot for weekend picnics and fresh air away from the city. The same report notes that the current state of facilities such as picnic tables, fountains and toilets is not certain, so it is worth checking with the forestry office before a visit. Yaka Mahallesi lies just west of the Güzelbahçe district centre and south of the İzmir to Çeşme motorway, and is also known for its weekly producers market.
