I’ve been to Icmeler many times but this was my first time joining a tour to Yuvarlakçay. The setting was so serene — cold, clear water, lush green surroundings, and wooden decks built right over the river. It’s a perfect place to take photos and just breathe. Highly recommended!

Yuvarlakçay was a total highlight of our trip. The natural beauty is unreal — trees hanging over the ice-cold stream and wooden terraces floating above it. The food was fresh, and the area wasn’t crowded at all. It felt like we discovered a secret place. Would absolutely go again.

What a refreshing escape from the summer heat! The cold river at Yuvarlakçay was unbelievable — I couldn’t stop dipping my feet in. The peaceful forest setting made it feel like we were far from everything. Lunch by the water was simple and tasty. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

The entire day at Yuvarlakçay was magical. The river is crystal clear, freezing cold, and surrounded by stunning green scenery. It’s the kind of place that recharges you. We sat on wooden decks built above the stream and enjoyed the calm. It’s perfect for couples, families, or anyone wanting peace and nature.

Absolutely loved this trip! Yuvarlakçay is like a hidden paradise — cool, shady, and full of charm. The trees create a natural canopy, and the sound of the water is so calming. The traditional lunch was a nice touch, and the whole day felt authentic. I highly recommend it for nature lovers.

A perfect day for nature and relaxation. We walked along the river, dipped our feet in the icy water, and enjoyed a peaceful lunch by the stream. The fresh air, cool breeze, and quiet environment were a perfect contrast to the busy beach life. One of the most peaceful spots near Icmeler.

The location is absolutely beautiful — so green and peaceful. The river is freezing but fun to dip your feet in, and the little wooden terraces are charming. I really enjoyed the trip, but I’m giving four stars because the journey there took longer than expected. Still, well worth the visit once you arrive.

Yuvarlakçay is a great spot to relax and connect with nature. The river is cold, clean, and refreshing, and the setting is incredibly peaceful. The only reason I’m not giving five stars is because the seating near the river was limited when we arrived. Other than that, a lovely day out.

Yuvarlakçay was nice, but it didn’t fully meet my expectations. The area is peaceful and the river is beautiful, but it was much colder than I anticipated, and there wasn’t much to do apart from sit and relax. The food was okay, but nothing special. It’s a good trip if you want a quiet day, but it felt a bit slow for me.
