Lake Gala

Nestled between forested mountains in northwestern Turkey lies the scenic freshwater lake of Gala. Fed by streams cascading from the surrounding peaks, its transparent turquoise waters shine brightly against the lush green landscape. Lake Gala offers visitors a tranquil retreat from the busy cities nearby. A circular hiking trail stretches around the entire shoreline. Passing through dense pine groves and rocky outcroppings, it provides picturesque views across the vast expanse of water. In summer, small beaches invite swimming and paddling in the cool blues. Boats can also be rented to explore further.
