If you are lucky, you might see some sea turtles, also known as Caretta Caretta's aswell. In Spring you can enjoy the colourful grass which grows from the water and enjoy the old Kaunos Antique village which is close to the area. The water here is interesting as well because the sea and the water from the river join here. That is why you can find saltwater and freshwater species.
