Upon entering the park, you are immersed in a universe which has something magical. Four hours from Istanbul by road, this shaded site welcomes lots of visitors in summer. You can have a picnic next to the large lake, the Büyükgöl. If you wish, you can also spend the night there by bringing your tent or hiring a small chalet, which are located in the forest.
In Yedigöller, I enjoy strolling around discovering magnificent landscapes, lakes, the waterfalls, small birds and trying to catch sigh of some wild animals. Its large trees, with branches so long they go above the lakes, amaze all visitors.
