Yıldız Mountains

The Yıldız (Istranca) Mountains are located in the south and west. Offering different beauties throughout all seasons, the floodplain forests invite photographers to a visual feast with the variety of colors they display, especially in autumn. The floodplain forests in this region are a very special type of forest. Additionally, there are five lakes in the area with rich aquatic vegetation. These include Erikli Lake, a lagoon lake disconnected from the sea in summer; Mert Lake and the 5-hectare Saka Lake located in the southern part of the region; and Hamam Lake and Pedina Lake, which are situated inland.
