It was very enjoyable to visit this castle at the western end of Anatolia. You can go up to the walls of the castle, where you can enter for a small fee, and the perfect Aegean view welcomes you and you get a certificate prepared by the village headman. This certification event was really meaningful. If we look at the history of the castle, the Sultan Ahmet III, who took refuge in the shores of Ayvacık in order to protect him from the storm during his sea expedition in 1723, learns that the local people suffered from the attacks of the pirates and orders a castle to be built there. Vizier Damat İbrahim Pasha also assigned Captain-Derya Mustafa Pasha in the construction of the castle. In addition, prisoners working in the construction of this fortress have gained their freedom with the edict published. A historical fountain located here was made by pulling a 5 km water line to meet the water need during construction.
The Momela Lakes or Momella Lakes, are seven shallow lakes located within Arusha National Park namely: Big Momela, Small Momela, El Kekhotoito, Kusare, Rishateni, Lekandiro and Tulusia. Lakes are alkaline formed from the volcanic debris created when Mount Meru blew its top 250,000 years ago.
