Karine is the largest with a surface area of 2000 hectares, noted for its natural beauty and wildlife. A day or weekend excursion to Karine is an enjoyable experience at any time from spring through to autumn. Only in winter is there little sign of the abundant wildlife and plant species which come to life again in spring. To reach Karine, take the Priene road from Söke, and after 20 kilometres take the right turn to Tuzburgazi. Eight kilometres later, after passing Tuzburgazi and Doganbey, you reach the lagoon. The road winds along the shore offering beautiful views of the lagoon, and ends at a restaurant where you can feast on fish while watching the fishermen digging for bait in the shallows and casting their nets for mullet, sea bass and gilthead bream. Then you can enjoy a walk along the shore before returning home, perhaps in the direction of the small fishing harbour, where more fishermen are busy cleaning the boats, mending nets, and preparing bait.
