Ayval\u0131k is home to no fewer than 22 islands, scattered like pearls across the Aegean Sea. While most visitors know only Cunda Island, the others have their own attractions worth exploring. The Ayval\u0131k Islands Nature Park, one of T\u00fcrkiye’s largest nature parks, encompasses 20 of the 22 islands and covers nearly 18,000 hectares, including the surrounding waters.

Kozak Plateau<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stretching from Bergama to Ayval\u0131k, the Kozak Plateau lies about 20 kilometers from Ayval\u0131k and encompasses 16 villages.
