Tasliçay

At an altitude of 2,241m/7,355ft, Balik Gölü, northeast of Tasliçay, is Turkey's highest lake. Reaching it involves a drive of some 28km/17mi on a very minor road. The lake is set against a delightful backcloth of high mountains and its waters teem with fish. A small island has a ruin on it, probably an Armenian monastery.
