At the water’s edge
The beach and seabed at Kargı are stony. Water shoes and a small mat will make your visit more comfortable. For a half day out, leave time to return to the centre after your swim.
An afternoon without a car
Look up the Özbel–Kargı bus route before setting out. On arrival, find the stop for the trip home and check the last departure.
