Either you will turn left and take the 25-km long coast road to Agva, or you’ll turn right and take the 40-km route through the forest. Both roads are asphalt. Though longer and winding, I would recommend the forest road in this season. Besides the tunnels created by the trees that arch over the road, the logs stacked up by the charcoal burners, and the conical piles of wood that look like African huts, you will also pass children dying to sell you fresh corn on the cob boiled up in huge cauldrons. And sometimes your tires will be rolling not over the asphalt but over the thick layer of leaves that carpet it.

THE TOURISM OPERATORS’ LOVE OF NATURE
There are many reasons for staying a night on the banks of the Göksu. Among them the accommodations, the tiny boutique hotels. Most of their owners are people who built houses in Agva years ago and then were unable to leave for sheer love of the place.
