A library in the forest 📚
This place looks like a dream but it is real ✨
You would never expect to find a library in the middle of the forest but in Ormanya there is one!
This huge natural reserve includes picnic areas, a zoo and even a beautiful library.
The books are kept in those cute shelves carved in the trees, you can check them freely, pick one and go to one of the reading "halls" 😍
There are sittings of all kinds including hammocks where you can enjoy your book with the sound of birds 🐦
You can find plenty of choice of books, also for children.
Ormanya is in the turkish province of Kocaeli, you can reach it with a public bus from Izmit.

Sapanca Lake Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Sapanca Lake
I arrived at Sapanca Lake, and the first thing that caught my attention was the beauty of the scenery surrounding the lake. The mountains covered with green trees provided a wonderful view of the lake. The sky was clear, the atmosphere was pleasant, and it made the experience even more enjoyable.
After wandering around the lake, I headed to the beach to relax and enjoy the sun. The beach was clean and comfortable, with many chairs and umbrellas available for use. I lay under an umbrella enjoying the beautiful ambiance and the splendid view of the lake.
I also visited several local restaurants to taste delicious Turkish cuisine. I had a tasty meal that included kebabs, grilled dishes, and refreshing salads. The food was delicious and enjoyable, and I really liked the experience of tasting local dishes.
Overall, visiting Sapanca Lake was a wonderful experience. I enjoyed the natural beauty of the lake and the fun water activities. I would recommend visiting this place to anyone who wants to relax and enjoy picturesque nature.
