Its story

Karagöl is a small lake of volcanic origin on a flat area near the summit of Yamanlar Dağı. In mythology it is associated with the legend of Tantalus, and the lake takes its name (Black Lake) from the dark color of its waters. Surrounded by pine forests, the park, about 35 km from İzmir, is popular for picnics and walks. The winding road up to the lake offers wide views of the Gulf of İzmir.
