Following EV8 you will pass this wonderful bird habitat. You can see thousands of flamingos among others. I even saw some pelicans. The road is nicely paved and without any traffic.

A cute lake, also accessible by car. You can ride a bike around it. You can have a picnic on the lawn. No sanitary facilities, no café

A lake where there are many birds to watch. Unfortunately, that's all there is there. Not currently recommended as there is neither a viewing platform nor a walking path.

The Çatalca Reservoir is still an insider tip.
🤫
There isn't a complete path around it; you have to hike part of the way through the bushes if you want to do a loop.
There's a village near the lake.
