Tuzla Lake and Region. Tuzla Lake and its extensive wetlands lie at the end of a deep inlet from the Gulf of Güllük and Mandalya Bay. The site is unique as it is where the Lake unites with the sea. Embraced by rolling mountains covered with a rich combination of wild shrubs, Olive groves, Pine and Tamarisk trees, this is perhaps one of the most beautiful locations in Turkey. Ancient remains can be seen emerging from the still calm of the lake under a sky that, whenever you look up, seems to be the most spectacular yet. Bogaziçi Village. The fishing village of Bogaziçi nestles on the shores of Mandalya Bay. The village holds an important place in history as the site of the ancient city of Bargilia. Today, a few fish restaurants fringe the seafront offering the day’s fresh catch and other Aegean specialties. Original old stone houses line the road and testify to Turkey's traditional village life. Bird Heaven. Tuzla Lake has been a nature reserve under international protection since 1994
