Lake Apolyont (or Uluabat Gölü as it is officially known, Uluabat being a village on the northwest shore) is located in one of the large depressions which run parallel to the Pontic Mountains westward as far as the Sea of Marmara. These basins, reaching deep inland, are occupied by shallow lakes separated only by low-lying sills. With the Kara Dag (833m/2,734ft) forming a barrier against the Sea of Marmara to the north, and bounded by the Orhaneli upland in the south, the well-watered plains of the Marmara region are excellent for fruit and vegetable growing - olives and figs and mulberries for silk-worm breeding.
