Köyceğiz

Am Köyceğiz-See reiten

The Köyceğiz Lake supplies the delta. The lake tour starts on the shore of this water: two hours, four and a half kilometers, forty-five minutes on the way, a stop with the horses in the lake. Going to the Sultaniye facility by boat is different, going to İztuzu is different. This is the quiet shore at the end of the path. No bushes, no birds, no motor. The water is warm in summer, the air is sharper in winter — both are beautiful.

The step-by-step state of the route is described in the lake tour article. The stream, the sandy opening, the green path, the stop, the return. The arrival point is Çandır, both from Köyceğiz and from Dalyan. When you see the lake on the map, it is natural to ask “where are the horses in the lake?”; the answer is the end of the path that leads to the farm. Not the facility, the pier, or the mud area.

If we are to do it, set this tour for a time when the sun is not at its highest. Hat, water, comfortable trousers. Take photos at the stop, there is no hurry. The note of Gursan for birdwatchers is available on Google; those looking for a safari pace find something else. Both are understandable. Whichever one you are looking for, let’s talk in summer.
