Kabak - is a paradise in which people are living in harmony with nature since the Creation of the World.

A perfect valley, which opens up to the sea with a sandy beach of 200 meters. It is a canyon three sides of which are surrounded by mountains. It is a picture which God always wanted to see.

God created this place by looking at it from the sea; he took his palette and brush in hand and first created the steep rocks which are going in adn out, like monuments; from the feet of Babadağ which is at the back, he let water to fall as fountainheads; he painted the plateau which goes down to the sea step by step in green; he raised pine trees over the red steep rocks. He placed the SANDALWOOD tree with red husks, LAUREL with bright leaves, VALONIA and all MEDITERRANEAN plant cover side by side and one inside the other. He said, "KABAK will be such a beautiful place that all of my men will learn what nature and natural life mean forever and ever."

And God looked at its work of art and can not prevent the tears of delight from falling. Just at that time the picture came to life and water started to splash from the rocks, SHORT - TOED EAGLE started to glide along swiftly in the air, the GOAT started to eat the thyme on the rocks, the MEDITERRANEAN SEAL started to hint at the coast. CARETTA CARETTAS came to the sandy beach of golden colour in order to lay eggs, RED FOX began to follow the ROCK PARTRIDGES and RABBITS. JESSEY TIGER decided to continue its life here in this place.

This is how KABAK is created; and story continued thus. Peopl learned how to take out the oil of the nettle tree berry and bay and how to raise onion and garlic by digging up by the roots.

B.C. 3000... Years followed yers and people caught goats and sacrificed them as well as taming them. They mixed the manure in ground and raised barley and wheat. They built up a mill on fountainhead of the waterfall that is within the depths of the canyon. There, they ground their seeds up and they were sometimes up in the mill, sometimes they were down. They brought down the wild olive trees which they uprooted from the hills to the gardens of their houses made of stone. They planted them together with the pomegranate tree which is known as the tree of heaven.

Year B.C. 2000... People of Kabak bury their dead together with his/her belongings that he/she loved best under monument graves (one piece of stone block) consisting of one piece. They open up a window over the grave so that Harpyas of the mythology, which are creatures with a women head and bird body, can enter the grave and take the spirit of the dead and take them to the world of dead, that is Hades.

In those days people living in Kabak were called as Lykians.

Year A.D. 100... The good news of Jesus Christ reaches the small bays which are GAVUR ALİ, SANCAKLI, İNSUYU BALARTLI and KABAK, from PATARA. Churches are built on the hills and coasts that are like lace. Even the small bays which have no water get their share of trade. People of Kabak take the water of the mill that reaches the sea, through a second mill into ships. They the barrels with olive oil and produce wine from the grapes that taste like honey.

A.D. 1300... Byzantium Period have started and it is about to end. Althogh Kabak can not carry out sea trade as it used to do in the past, it is self-sufficient in contrary to the other small bays.

And they hear bout our last prophet; after that, there appears a Muslim graveyard on the most beautiful area of Kabak where stream and sea unite and where the most beautiful pine trees grow and golden sands come to an end. People coming from the sea are welcomed by the old people of Kabak dwelling in their modest graves.

Year A.D. 1998 Nothing much changed within 5000 years in Kabak. Villagers make a living out of apiculture; they raise enough amount of wheat and barley, they produce molasses from the grapes that taste like honey, instead of wine. They are squeezing their excellent olive oils just like their ancestors. They are still raising the goats which had been tamed thousands of years ago, at mountains. We are also taking our water from the natural spring, performing our transportation using mules on land and using ships at sea. We cook our meal by using firewood and we do our fishing, everyday we cook our bread using the flavour we ourselves produce by grinding the wheat that is raised at the plateau of Kabak, and in the morings we eat it together with honey and olive oil prodiced at Kabark as well. While having a holiday at Kabak you will meet the life itself. It is possible to perform various natural sports at KABAK CAMPING.
