Nature Explorer's Delight
Embark on an enchanting exploration with your loved one filled with nature, animals, and delightful delicacies in Ankara.
- Start your day early to get the most out of the sunlight and cooler weather. Head to the Eymir Lake, a serene location perfect for those who adore nature and a peaceful atmosphere. Here, you can rent bicycles for free and cycle around the lake, soaking in the vibrant landscapes and the calming sounds of water.
- After a refreshing ride, lay out a blanket for a scenic picnic. Pack homemade sandwiches, fresh fruits, and some of Turkey's favorite pastries. As you dine, enjoy the lush surroundings and watch the local wildlife. Ducks and other birds are often sighted here, providing a delightful spectacle.
- Post-picnic, continue your day by visiting a nearby free-entry animal shelter. Spending time with animals and potentially helping out with volunteer tasks could enrich your shared experiences. It's not just about seeing animals; it's about connecting with them and each other through kindness and care.
Preparation steps:
- Prepare a picnic basket the night before. Include easy-to-carry foods that won't spoil easily. Sandwiches, pastries, and fruits are great choices. Don't forget a blanket and perhaps some cushions for extra comfort.
- Check the weather beforehand and dress appropriately. Comfortable clothing and suitable shoes for cycling and walking long distances are crucial. Since youโll be outdoors most of the time, sunscreen and hats might also be necessary.
- Plan the logistics of your day in advance. Check the opening hours of Eymir Lake and the animal shelter. Ensure you have a backup plan if the weather changes unexpectedly or other unforeseen circumstances arise.
