I’m only happy if I can live either by an ocean, a lake, or a broad river. Mountains, especially if they are high and close, make me feel claustrophobic, and lakes have the opposite effect. There is something very soothing about contemplating the quiet surface or vast expanse of a lake mirroring the surrounding countryside or reflecting my own image. What makes Turkey’s lakes so special is that they’re located in beautiful and sometimes out-of-the-way landscapes, surrounded by tales and legends, dotted with islands, monasteries, and an abundance of history, just like the country itself.
