This bright blue freshwater lake is the fourth largest in the country (517 km²). Several viewpoints offer exceptional panoramas. There are beaches that allow safe swimming. Until the 20th century, the peninsula and Yeşilada (Green Island) were separated. The peninsula was then an island, occupied mostly by a population of Greek origin, which, after the Treaty of Lausanne of 1923 imposing the exchange of populations between the two countries, was forced to leave. The pensions usually offer boat tours.
