Kapıkırı

While the region around Bafa Lake and Mount Latmos are far less popular than sites like Ephesus, Hierapolis, Pergamum, and Aphrodisias, Bafa is quite possibly the richest and most varied collection of sites in western Türkiye. From prehistoric rock paintings to island monasteries, from the ruins of ancient Herakleion to the quaint village life of Kapıkırı this region has plenty to offer historians, rock climbers, hikers, and even people who just want a quiet get away on a sandy beach at the foot of the mysterious Mount Latmos. The Latmos mountains are also known as 'Beşparmak' (five finger) mountains.

Sights you might want to see during your visit:

Herakleia Castle

You will see the Byzantine Herakleia Castle (where excavations began here in 2021) from the roadside and should be able to park up nearby and walk the short distance to see it close up.

Necropolis

Not so far from the Castle, close to the waters edge, you can find

rock cut graves with triangular capped lids. There are more all around the city, in fact, there are over 200 of them.

Kapıkırı Island (and Monastery)

There are a number of islands in Bafa Lake, the best known being the Monastery ruin-covered Kapıkırı Island directly opposite the village of the same name and very close to the beach.

Temple of Athena

Perched up high on a hill above Kapıkırı Island you'll notice the Temple of Athena. The temple is believed to have been built in the 3rd century, in the same period as the city itself, though unfortunately, all that is left of it is 3 walls.
