Although at first sight are hard to find, the province of Ankara has many hidden amazing spots. It is just a matter of being able to find them.
The Eymir Lake is only 20 km away from the city center, in the town of Ankara Golbasi. Away from the business, the traffic and the noise of the big city, this is to be found as a retreat in which nature and silence can be enjoyed. It is definitely not a place acknowledged by tourists.
This lake is part of a natural park; its perimeter is of 10km and it's usual for visitors to go around walking, jogging or cycling with a bike rented at the entrance of the park. There are some picnik areas all along the lake. There is also a historic building which has become a restaurant that has a fireplace for the winter time and an amazing garden next to the lake full of tables to enjoy the sunny days outside.
