Six
kilometers north of Turgutreis and accessible by road is the
small beachside village of Kadikalesi. The name originated from
the remains of a castle dating back to Hellenistic Age. The
village is surrounded by a sand beach from the sea and citrus
gardens from the land. The small sandy beach offers shelter from
the summer breezes and a few small jetties and restaurants are
scattered around on this quiet beach.
Above
the village stands a Greek church over one hundred years old and
in surprisingly good condition. Greek inscriptions are still
visible above the doorway. The village is one of the quietest in
the peninsula.
