Its story

Karacabey Longoz is a special forest ecosystem on the delta plain where the Susurluk (Kocaçay) Çayı reaches the Sea of Marmara, and it lies underwater for part of the year. The forest of ash, alder and willow, intertwined with climbing plants, has a tropical-looking texture. The lakes and dunes around the delta are an important habitat and stopover for birds. The area also has fishing weirs (dalyan) and coastal lagoons. As roads can be muddy in rainy periods, getting local information before a visit is recommended.
