Kazdağı National Park, National park in Edremit district, Turkey.

Mount Ida National Park extends across 21,452 hectares along the northern coast of the Gulf of Edremit at the Aegean Sea's northern edge.

The mountain holds significance in ancient Greek mythology as the location where Paris judged the beauty contest between Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite.

Local villages around Mount Ida maintain traditional practices, producing olive oil, handmade soaps, and mountain strawberries in the summer months.

Visitors can reach the park through highway 230 from Balikesir or highway 24 from Bursa, with rental cars available at Balikesir Koca Seyit Airport.

The U-shaped Sahin River canyon influences regional air quality, making the area beneficial for individuals with respiratory conditions.
