Flamingo Bus Tour
Saturday - Sunday

(Southern Gediz Delta)
* Departure times may vary depending on season and weather conditions.

Would you to explore the Gediz Delta of İzmir, one of the largest wetland ecosystems in the Mediterranean Basin, with our flamingo road bus?

Our bus tours consist of two different routes: Southern Gediz Delta and Central Gediz Delta.

Our Southern Gediz Delta tours depart from Sasalı Wildlife Park. We enter the delta from Kaklıç Junction and proceed among reeds, tamarisk bushes and sea beans. After seeing flamingos feeding in the coastal marshes of the delta, we stop at Manya Cape at the point where the Gulf of Izmir is closest to each other and observe with telescopes and binoculars, and end our tour. With our tour, which will last approximately two hours with a guide, you can witness the biodiversity in the Southern Gediz Delta and observe flamingos, sandwich terns, lesser kestrels and hundreds of other birds.

In addition to birds, this tour, where we can also encounter mammal species such as jackals, foxes, wild boars and hares, takes you on a unique journey in İzmir's Gediz Delta, which is preparing to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Our Middle Gediz Delta tours also depart from Sasalı Wildlife Park. In the salt pan located in Sasalı, where salt production has been carried out for decades, we proceed on a path where we can observe hundreds of flamingos feeding and resting in the salt pans and many different bird species. After taking a break at the İzmir Bird Paradise Visitor Center and having the chance to observe with a short walk, we end our tour.
