The Earth's orbit intersects with the cloud of cosmic dust every year as the Sun revolves around it. With the gravitational effect of the earth, the meteor showers are burning and meteor rains occur.

However, the meteor showers that will take place at this year's Perseid summit are unlike any other. An unprecedented and effective meteor shower will amaze everyone.

On the nights of August 12 and 13, meteor shower will be visible in the sky from 22.00. In order to witness this magnificent celestial event, we prefer a region as far from light pollution as possible and we go to Saklikent.
