Hello everyone! I have shared my first part of "Darka" article last month and this time i wanted to create something bigger and better.. In this article you will find more than 90 photos and many explanations.. All photos has taken from me..
Anyways, today i get back here from Istanbul and i was here at January last time.. Darka is place for summer and in winter times usually there would be not too many people in here.. As a home maker i could come here in any part of year, and yes that is my luck :)
When i arrive here today, that was 11:00 am and one cat welcomed me and i gaved him some cat food..
There are always some cats and dog in our gardens in here, we always love and feed them.. Our true friends without any conditions..
There are 500 houses in Darka, and nearly most of them different then each other. You can't change the outside of the house, i mean the colors should be white and the roofs are should be same..
This is my house, it has 3 rooms and two bathrooms.
But the life is at outside, so lets walk and explore..
This is outside of my house and my garden
We are having small lakes in front of our houses, frogs, some small fishes and ducks are living in there.. This one is our with my neighbours.. I took 4 photos in every different angle..

After left our block i go out the road and search for the lake, a big and real one. The Iznik Lake.. Here you can check it in Turkey map.. Both my city and Iznik lake marked with red..

Iznik lake is the 5th biggest lake in Turkey, in 298 km² area and it's length 32 km.. Anyways, we have nice little cost and beach with covered the palm trees..
As i told you there are many different kind of houses at the front of coast, i also wanted to show them to you..
We have small pier, where we can swim and having sun bath..
The beach made by half sand and half grass, you can have them both when you spending your time on the lake side..
There are some small boats, some of my neighbors have them, i also have one tiny one :)
This little blue one is mine :)
Anyways, lets got the the pier
If you check the lake water, it is always clean and bright and feels great when you swim in it. But in March it would be too cold for it :)
Here we are on the pier, back there there are some small heels, you can see them from here..
I usually ride with my bike in Darka, he is my best friend when my friends are not here with me :) Also the lake seems really cool..
I was also feel good and cool 😎
And this is the view from the pier..
I'll show you some more different houses..
I walk little more down the road..
On the left hand side we have beach-volley area
We also have cafe-restaurant in here and open for 365 days.. In my next Darka article i will share their great foods and services..

Also you can eat your meals at the lake side..

If you walk little more after passing the reatsurant you will arrive the end of the beach and you should turn right and straith to the houses area..




We have also some exercise areas between the houses..

We have football pitch

Also Football tennis court, which created by us :)

Next to the football tennis area we arrive to main entrance

We also have supermarket in here and it is open 365 days for us..

In front of the market there are rabbits, turkeys and roosters and you can feed them.. Specially the rabbits are too cute :)



Here are the management and security buildings. They are working hard for us 365 days a year. Also there are more than 50 hidden cameras in Darka for maximum security..

We have 4 tennis courts and i love to play tennis a lot..


Me playing tennis last summer in here:)

We also have great basketball court, i also love to play a lot..

It feels really great to play basketball by the palm trees..

There is park for children and summer times they are having graet fun here..

By the road there are bunches of rosemary.. When you touch them your hand smells amazing good.. Do you know rosemary is the main aroma in perfumes..

And some more different houses..





If you move in the middle part of the Darka there is Area D and it is my favorite part.. Some botanical plants and trees there..







So i turned back and saw my house again :)

Infront of my house there are some more beatiful houses.. Wanted to show you..


And this is the other small exit..

Near the exit there are Part E and it is placed by the end of the beach.. Here are some last photos..






That was March 3rd and that was really lovely day.. Thank you for reading..

PS: You should listen the voices in here.. Lots of different type birds singing their songs.. Amazing..
