A few pictures from Saklıgöl, which means 'hidden lake' in Turkish. Formed as a result of the earthquake in 1999, Saklıgöl is a small lake tucked into the mountainous region on the southern part of the Gulf of Izmit, near Değiremendere, and only a 20 minute drive from Izmit. We went there without knowing exactly where it was, and a very small sign was the only indication of its location from the road. The road snaked through a village with a series of poorly-paved roads that made it seem a questionable tourist destination. But once we arrived, there was a fully functioning restaurant serving mangal, or barbecue... which just proves again that if there is something to see in Turkey, there is always something to eat!
