About this topic
Great Outdoors
Beyond its cities and ruins, Turkey has wild mountains, deep canyons and mountain lakes. In the northeast, the Kaçkar Mountains rise above the Black Sea, while Uzungöl and the Seven Lakes sit in green forests.
In the southwest, walk the Lycian Way or cool off in Saklıkent Gorge. Inland, Lake Salda shines white and turquoise, and in winter Uludağ and Mount Erciyes turn into ski resorts.
