We would like to know that the bird paradise covers about 1,000 hectares of area. Besides more than hundreds of unique bird species, the area is also famous for being one of the most important wetlands in Turkey. Additionally, there are plenty of sites to visit around the area during your visit.
If you are a professional bird observer, then make sure that you bring your camera and other equipment as well.

However, it is worth noting that not all these birds live in the area during the entire year. Some of them migrate to calmer areas, especially during the winter season. On the other hand, we believe you are going to visit the bird paradise during the summer season, in which you can witness more than 100 different species.
