From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dikili is a district of İzmir Province of Turkey. It is a quaint district and a popular summer resort, situated approximately 120 km. north of İzmir. The small town of Çandarlı (ancient Pitane) is nearby, and the area is full of natural beauty as well as spots of historical interest. There is a crater lake in Merdivenli village, and pine groves and ancient caverns in Demirtaş and Delitaş. The area is also famous for its hot springs, which can be found in Nebiler, Bademli and Kocaoba villages. Also, the nearby beaches in Bademli and Denizköy are important touristic attractions of the region. The port at Dikili is large enough for three passenger ships, and is a good transport connection.
The caves and the crater lakes around Merdivenli and Denizkoy and the forests extending towards the Madra Stream are also important natural beauties of the Dikili Region. Another must see is the Merkez Mosque which is a rare example of a wooden construction which was built in 1789 without using any nails. (Dikili Guide. Retrieved on 2007-01-26.)
