Uzungöl
Uzungöl is a lake in a green valley, surrounded by steep mountains and tea villages. It is popular with Gulf and Turkish families in summer, and the village is built for that: trout restaurants, wooden hotels and boat rides. Come early, walk the lake path and drive further up the valley when the tour buses arrive.
Best time to visit: May to September; mornings are quieter.
