The boat slips away from the dock and the noise of Alanya softens into cedar-scented air and the steady lap of reservoir water. Rock walls rise, pine fingers press the sky, and the lake narrows into emerald arms that seem to hold the mountains in place.

History
The canyon today is a reservoir formed by mid-20th-century dam works that submerged a narrow river valley; older shepherd trails and village ruins still mark the slopes above the water.
Conservation
The reservoir’s shoreline is ecologically sensitive—avoid littering, respect marked swim zones, and support local businesses that follow sustainable practices.
