Morning at the Lagoon

This is
a conservation area of outstanding natural beauty, no building or development
of any kind is allowed. The lagoon has a small sandy beach at its shore
line and the warm shallow calm water is wonderful for swimmers. With
the backdrop of pine trees and mountains this is a truly wonderful place
to do nothing but relax and soak up the sun. Water sports facilities
are also located at the far end, a great place to hire a boat.

typical of this party of Turkey's coast and hence this is often referred
to as the Turquoise Coast.
