Bafa Lake is surrounded by the Latmos Mountains. Located at the beginning of the Latmic Bay, Heraklia was named Latmus at its head, reaching the height of 1300 meters above sea level, taking the name of the impressive mountain. 

At the beginning of the Gulf, Heraklia became an important city away from the popular trade route from Ephesus to Didim - Miletus and Priene. This mystical mountains is the perfect area for avid hiking and trekking tours. 700 A.D exudes and the monks left traces on these remote mountain slopes. Byzantine monasteries and marble caves are favorite places for sightseeing. 

The village of Kapikiri is built on the ruins of the ancient city of Heraklia, and today's houses are in many cases directly based on old foundations. Stones from the surrounding ruins were used to build new houses, walls, streets and property areas. Although Heraklia was found in Ionia, Heraklia was a characteristic Carian city and its history was created by Caria events.

You will be picked up from your hotel/accommodation and enjoy the views along the journey to the village restaurant in Kapıkırı, Heraklia where you will enjoy a Traditional Turkish breakfast,  or other options on the menu, from home grown/made produce,  After breakfast, you can take photos of the superb views on the upper levels and maybe try a cup of Turkish coffee. 

Then walk a little and take in the scenery for more photos or drive down to the waters edge where you will see closely the remains of an ancient monastery, another stop for more amazing photos. Here is where you'll take the boat trip from. You will travel by fishing boat (about 20 minutes) to the Twin Islands where you will stop for 45 minutes and here you'll be able to swim or sit/sunbathe and yet again you can take more amazing photos for your holiday album.
