Uzungöl is an absolutely stunning destination that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful natural retreat. Located in Turkey's picturesque Trabzon region, this hidden gem is nestled in the midst of verdant hills and forests, with a serene lake at its heart. One of the things I loved about Uzungöl was the peacefulness and tranquility that permeates every inch of this place. Whether you're taking a leisurely walk along the lake shore or hiking in the nearby mountains, you'll feel completely at ease in the midst of such breathtaking scenery. Another highlight of Uzungöl is the wonderful hospitality of the locals. From the friendly vendors selling handmade crafts and local delicacies to the warm and welcoming guesthouses and hotels, you'll feel like part of the family in no time. Overall, I would highly recommend Uzungöl to anyone looking for a quiet and rejuvenating escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. It's truly one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited, and I can't wait to go back again someday!

One of the best place to be in Trabzon. The area is most famous for its natural environment.Located in a valley between high rising mountains, the lake and village at first appear inaccessible. The surrounding mountain forests and fog, occasionally enveloping the lake at night, also add to the scenery. The tourist boom of the recent years, has attracted investors, who opened a number of hotels, restaurants, and souvenir shops in the village. The transport infrastructure has also been improved. In 2008, the government built a concrete barrier along the lake's shoreline, so that its waves would not wet the coastal roads around it. This has triggered protests by the locals, as well as ecologists concerned with environmental damage, who stated that it has turned the lake into a giant artificial pool. Highly reccomend place to be in Turkey 🇹🇷

Uzungol lake is a wonderful place to visit in northern Turkey about 90 minutes by car from Trabzon. In summer time the weather is great making it a top attraction for visitors from the Middle East, especially from Gulf region. In September the weather turns cold and by the end of the month it too cold for tourists. All around the lake are shops, playgrounds, restaurants and hotels. Most hotels are below international standards and there are no known hotel brands such as Hilton or holiday inn. Shopping and dining in Uzungol is more expensive than other cities in northern Turkey and it is crowded in summer time. Unfortunately the local authorities are not doing a good job in keeping this beautiful place safe and tidy. Street are full of speeding cars, endangering children and pavements are mostly not comfortable to walk on.

I think this is one of the overrated places. Maybe is beauty during summer and definitely not in the winter. Whoever wanna visit, please avoid during winter time. It is a bit difficult to get there, hence i join the tour. Is around one hour + away from Trabzon city centre. Spend a day trip also not too bad, unless you have many things to do, then overnight can be an ideal. During winter almost 85% shop is close. But there is theme park and some others things you could do during non winter time. View from the top deck is a bit far, then walking around the lake is pretty. Wanted visit to mosque, but it was close at that time. The cutest things i discover is their cinema beside the lake, however also close during winter. There are many shop, hotel, and restaurant surrounded this lake.

One of the best places you can go to while visiting Trabzon or Rize cities, it's 1.30 hours away from each. The road till uzungöl is not dangerous, you can drive safely. I really liked this place. There were a lot of shops around the lake. They have restaurants, cafes, souvenirs shops and playgrounds for kids as well as some kiosks for different stuff. A lot of places to set and see. There is a big mosque in the entrance and a police station. It's a very safe area full of people (visitors). There are a lot of Arabians working in the shops and you can communicate with them easily. There a lot of banners written in Turkish and Arabic. Driving to the top to see the view from top in dangerous, you will drive on the edges.

Switzerland? No it is Uzungöl 😎 All I can say is BREATHTAKING 🥲🤠 It was 4 years ago I was reading a blog about nice places near Iran, I faced a picture that didn't seem to be here around, the name was uzugol and in Turkey, I couldn't find it real, after checking I saw holy Moly it is completely real. 😬 And now in September 2023 got the chance to visit this creature. Really lovely because the weather was foggy and rain drops falling on my glasses. I recommend that stay a night there which seems to be alittle expensive, but that's life and worth to experience 😉 Plan to visit there in the morning and spend a few hours to walk around the lake.
