Leçelik Area and Haydarlar Lake
Formed by the rapid cooling of lava seas, the Leçelik area is one of the rare spots that showcases the natural beauty of Hassa. Haydarlar Lake, located in this area, is a unique paradise for bird watchers. You can take a walk around the lake and photograph the stunning scenery of the lava stones.

Haydarlar Lake, with its untouched nature, leaves those who see it in awe.

Formed as a result of a volcanic eruption centuries ago, Haydarlar Lake, located 4 kilometers from the town center, captivates visitors with its pristine nature, views of the Amanos Mountains, and its position among the rocks.
In Hatay
Efforts are underway to promote the volcanic Haydarlar Lake, located at the foot of the Amanos Mountains in the Hassa district of Hatay, for tourism.
Formed as a result of a volcanic eruption centuries ago, Haydarlar Lake, situated 4 kilometers from the town center, captivates visitors with its untouched nature, views of the Amanos Mountains, and its position among the rocks.
Especially in spring, the volcanic lake, where water daisies bloom, offers a visual feast and has become a popular destination for nature lovers and photographers.
To prevent the lake from drying out throughout the year, water supplementation is provided. After landscaping and environmental arrangement work, the lake will be opened to tourism.
Hassa Mayor Mehmet Karataş told AA correspondent that the lake, which spans 30 hectares, has two separate springs.
Karataş, who mentioned that they started working to prevent the water in the lake from drying up during the summer months, added the following:
'Unfortunately, the lake had not been cared for until today. As the municipality, we were the first to provide water supplementation. Currently, landscaping work and tree planting are ongoing. Restrooms and a prayer room will also be built. God willing, it will have a much more beautiful appearance by next year. It will become a place where our citizens can spend their weekends.'
Karataş also explained that once the lake's landscaping is completed, it will welcome visitors from outside the area and thanked Hatay MP Hüseyin Yayman for supporting the project.





Turkey’s Haydarlar Lake enthralls visitors with its beauty

Located in the Mediterranean province of Hatay’s Hassa district, the Haydarlar Lake has blossomed into a beautiful sight with the arrival of spring.
The lake emerged as a result of a volcanic eruption centuries ago and is surrounded by Amanos Mountains, fascinating those who see it with its untouched nature, mountain view and perfect location.
The lake, which can be reached after a short drive from Hassa district, was one of Turkey’s attractive destinations for tourists and shutter-bugs before the pandemic hit.
With the arrival of spring, the lake constitutes an array of bright colours once again, presenting a sight that cannot be missed.
The lake, which has been supplemented with water to prevent it from drying out throughout the year, will be opened to tourism after environmental planning and landscape works are completed.
Speaking to state-run Anadolu Agency, Hassa Mayor Mehmet Karataş said that the 30-hectare lake had two separate deep points.
Noting that an effort was initiated to prevent the water in the lake from drying out during the summer months, Karataş emphasised that landscape works and the process of planting trees were still ongoing.
“I hope the lake will have a much better view next year. It will turn into a place where our citizens will spend their weekends,” he said.
