IZMIR - ABANT LAKE - GOLCUK LAKE - SEVEN LAKES In the evening between 20:00 and 22:00, we will start our journey by picking you up from Dikili, Çandarlı, Şakran, Aliağa, Menemen, Fahrettin Altay (in front of Ziraat Bank), Üçyol Pamukkale Office, in front of Girne Street (in front of Bellima Tour Office), Bostanlı Pier, in front of Karşıyaka Monument, Bayraklı Overpass (Seaside), Bornova Ege Acil. The meeting times, guide, and vehicle information will be sent to you via SMS one day before your tour. After a breakfast break (extra), the first beauty we will see is ABANT LAKE. In the misty, foggy hours of the morning, ABANT LAKE will excite us in a different way. The lake, which is 1350 m above sea level, is surrounded by pine and cedar forests and has rich wildlife and flora. The water lilies on the lake add a unique beauty. After a panoramic tour around the lake by our vehicle, we will give free time. During this time, you can walk around the lake, ride horses, take a carriage ride, and shop at the village market. After taking plenty of photos and capturing nature, we reluctantly gather at the designated time and leave this paradise. We then head to GOLCUK LAKE, another beauty of Bolu. Surrounded by pine forests, the beauty of this natural paradise will impress us greatly. After witnessing the splendor of this heavenly area, we proceed to BOLU. Here, we take the waiting minibuses to enter the beautiful scenery of the SEVEN LAKES National Park. In SEVEN LAKES, we see SAZLIGOL, INCEGOL, KUCUKGOL, DERINGOL, BUYUKGOL, KURUGOL, and SERINGOL and enjoy pleasant hours picnicking in this environment covered with colorful trees reminiscent of a rainbow. We take easy walks in the breathtaking view of nature adorned with a thousand shades of red in autumn and green in spring. We meet at the time determined by our guide and head to our 5-star hotel, one of the chain hotels in the region. After dinner, guests can take advantage of the hotel's facilities and activities if they wish. We will stay overnight at our hotel.
After having breakfast at the hotel, we start our day by heading towards the former Uzuntarla Nature Park, now known as ORMANYA NATURAL LIFE PARK. The project for Ormanya Natural Life Park began in 2014, and its planning took over 10 years. Covering an area of 4,000 acres with its natural surroundings, Ormanya Natural Life Park is the third largest natural life park in the world and the largest in Europe. In Ormanya Natural Life Park, which is designed to meet all the needs of the animals to live in an environment as close to their natural conditions as possible, all details for visitors have also been meticulously planned. Ormanya Natural Life Park hosts 467 animals of 53 different species and various plant species. Many animal species, such as dear sika deer, fallow deer, and roe deer, continue their generations in their natural habitats within the park. We visit the area where the Hobbit Houses, made famous by the "Lord of the Rings" and "Hobbit" movies, are located, adding these beautiful images to our memories. After leaving here, we arrive at MAŞUKİYE, hidden within the streams, forests, and rich vegetation at the foot of KARTEPE. The name Maşukiye comes from the word "maşuk," meaning beloved. Indeed, the natural beauty surrounding us is said to make everyone who comes here "fall in love" with the place, making it a nature wonder that makes people want to come back. During our free time here, those who wish can enjoy an ATV tour to take in nature, while others can experience the thrill of ZIPLINING. Afterward, we visit the Şile Castle, built by the Genoese around 2000 years ago on a hill that was referred to as Hilea in Greek texts, and then we visit the Şile Lighthouse, constructed during the Ottoman Empire in 1859, built 60 meters high on rocky terrain, with a wall thickness of 110 cm. After our visit, we arrive at Ağva, meaning a village built between two rivers, a seaside town that has served as a passage for many civilizations such as Hittites, Phrygians, Romans, and Ottomans, located between the Göksu and Yeşilçay rivers. During our break, you can take photos at the Ağva Lighthouse and enjoy a peaceful, pleasant, and quite romantic walk along the Aşıklar Yolu, parallel to the Yeşilçay River. After our break, our guests can join (Optional) Boat Tours organized on the Göksu River if they wish. After our spare time, we start our return journey to İzmir. We will arrive in İzmir in the evening with appropriate stops along the way. We bid farewell, hoping to see you on another GÜVENTUR journey.
