A shallow, enclosed barrier lake separated from the Gediz plain by alluvial embankments.

Safety warning

In dry periods the shores are muddy and soft; do not walk into the mud.

Its story

Marmara Gölü formed in a depression between Gölmarmara and Salihli when alluvial barriers closed it off. Its surface lies lower than the Gediz plain, and the lake is fed by canals cut from the Gediz and surrounding streams. Because it is shallow, its water level varies greatly by season and year; in dry years most of the lake has been seen to recede. Its southern shore faces the Bin Tepe tumulus field.
