Marmara,İstanbul
Lake Büyükçekmece
Nestled on the outskirts of Istanbul lies the freshwater lake of Büyükçekmece. Known as the 'Lung of Istanbul', it serves as an urban oasis surrounded by forests. Fringed by reed beds and sandy shores, the lake's tranquil blue waters provide a natural escape from the bustle of the nearby city. A paved trail encircles the entire shoreline. Passing through patches of woodland and grassy areas, it offers lovely views across the expansive lake. Over 190 bird species inhabit the trees and marshes, commonly seen amongst the natural surrounds. Small beaches invite swimming, boating and relaxing with picnic lunches.
