The Tuzla lake and its extensive wetlands lie at the end of a deep inlet from the Gulf of Gulluk 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. There is a small fishing village of Bogazici that 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 specialities. Original old stone houses line the road and testify Turkey’ s traditional village life.
