Respect the sacred Keban Dam Lake

The Keban Dam Lake holds a significant place for the locals. Keep your paws clean and respect the sanctity of the area when you visit.

Discover the unique flavors

Savor traditional Turşu soup at the local 'Lokantas', but watch out for water bowls nearby, you don't want to dip your whiskers by accident!
