(1)
Uzungol View Terrace is a popular viewpoint located above the Uzungol valley. From here, visitors can enjoy wide panoramic views of Uzungol Lake, surrounding mountains, and traditional wooden houses. It is an ideal spot for photography and quiet moments in nature.

What to See & Do

  • 🔭 Enjoy panoramic views 🌊 of the entire Uzungöl Lake and the iconic mosque below 🕌
  • 📸 Capture photography 🖼️ of the valley and the lush green mountains meeting the clouds ☁️
  • 🌬️ Relax and enjoy the fresh mountain air 🌲 while watching the mist roll across the water 🌫️

How to Get There
