Picknick area by the lake side under trees which provide plenty of shade. We asked if we could stay the night and they asked for 200 Lira. You can park up next to one of the picknick huts and you’ll have shade all morning, something we were very grateful for in mid August heat. Thanks to the lake it cools down a bit over night as well, when we were there there were no mosquitoes. Some of the huts are a little bit run down but overall it’s a save spot with shade in an otherwise quite scarce area. The toilets are simple but have everything you need, including soap! There are some large but very friendly dogs who belong to the family who owns it. The granny gave us vegetables from her garden and of course we were invited for chai. Quiet on a Sunday night in August.
