What to see

A path runs along the water past gardens and breakfast places; canoes, pedal boats and paddleboards can be hired on calm days.

Half a day, often starting with a long village breakfast by the lake.

Weekend breakfast places fill up — book ahead if you have a particular one in mind.

Getting there

A few kilometres west of Sapanca town centre along the lake road; minibuses run from the centre.

Transport lines are general directions, not checked against the operator's timetable.
