Its story

Mavi Boğaz (Blue Gorge) is the deep valley cut between Akören and Bozkır by the Çarşamba Çayı (Çarşamba Stream), which carries the waters coming from Lake Beyşehir, and was declared a nature park on 22 December 2021. The canyon stretches for about 35 km between Avdan and Balıklava. The color of the water changes from bright blue to muddy brown depending on the season and rainfall. The area is popular for tent and caravan camping, nature walks and photography; access is via Akören, from the direction of Dutlu and Hatunsaray.
