Kus Gölü, National park and nature reserve near Bandirma, Turkey

Kus Gölü is a protected area featuring wetlands, marshes, and coastal zones where diverse bird species reside throughout the year. Multiple observation platforms and walking trails allow visitors to view wildlife from close vantage points.

The area was protected to safeguard migration routes used by millions of birds traveling between European and African habitats. Recognition of its ecological importance led to the establishment of comprehensive conservation measures.

The park draws birdwatchers from around the world who gather at observation points to spot and photograph rare species. Local communities have embraced this role and actively support the protection of this habitat.

Visitors should bring comfortable shoes and binoculars to get the most from observation opportunities. Early morning visits work best, as bird activity peaks during these hours.

During migration periods, massive flocks of flamingos gather in shallow waters, forming pink clusters visible from observation platforms. This natural spectacle occurs annually and draws photographers seeking rare moments.
