Its story

The Sarımsaklı Dam was built on the Sarımsaklı Çayı (Sarımsaklı Stream) in Kayseri between 1966 and 1968 for irrigation; at normal water level the lake area is about 2.4 km². The Kayseri Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism mentions the Sarımsaklı pond in its routes recommended to those looking for calm and camping, and counts the lake shores among areas suitable for caravans and camping. Its relative closeness to the city center is an advantage for short nature getaways.
