Abby Cota and her husband Giray Gunes traveled to Turkey and are currently in North Carolina. They are contributing and sharing their adventures on Shuffle Online on Snapchat @ShuffleOnline.
Giray and I took a short drive from Ankara to Bolu’s Lake Abant. This lake is about two hours from Ankara and is definitely worth the drive. The weather was an amazing 60° F, which was great to have in the middle of summer especially with the fresh smell of the mountain pines. It was such a delightful little treat spending time here.
Lake Abant was formed due to a large landslide.
There were many cows from a nearby village grazing throughout the mountains which made this place all the more magical. It felt like a little piece of heaven.
There was a little old man weaving these flower crowns from flowers he had picked up in the mountains.
