Local residents call this place a jade kingdom of Turkey. Here you can see an amazing nature, elegant canyon landscapes, steep cliffs and emerald water will delight even the most demanding people. This lake was created as a result of the construction of the dam. The pond is located at an altitude of about 300 meters above sea level and has an amazing color of water - light emerald - which is unique in Turkey. It is fed by over 20 water springs with clean water which is rich in minerals.
The depth of the reservoir is over 100 meters, but this does not prevent tourists to swim in the cold water in summer. The first stop is on the dam, which is called "Oymapinar". Next to the platform is a well, the water in it is very tasty and rich in minerals. Then, through the mountain tunnel, the bus will take you to the pier, where a cruise boat is waiting for you. The trip will take about two hours, you will sail 15 km. At the end of the ravine the boat will turn back, and then in a small cove it will stop so that travelers can swim. Everyone is obliged to put on a life jacket because the depth of the lake is very large. When the captain of the ship turns off the engine, you will be surrounded by a magical silence, without sound, without moving, without wind. After the boat trip, everyone will take a bus to the cafe for lunch (hot, salads, fruit, tea).
If you love nature, peace and quiet, then such a walk will create a lot of positive emotions.
