Hello Hive users..
First of all, we joined the Hive application for the same reasons in general. Sharing knowledge and making profit. In fact, apps like Hive could be the social media of the future. It is an application that you earn as you share.

Hive application was good for me because I am in one of the most beautiful districts of Turkey. I am in Akyazı district of Sakarya. When I saw the photo sharing page, I immediately took action and after two days of work, we made a couple of short trips with my guide friend who lives in this district and went to some places. We took photos of these places and I am sharing with these photos.

Post;

The place in the first photo is the place where there is a small pond on the right turn a few kilometers after going from Akyazı to Hendek side. Here, the village houses are further apart from each other. It is one of the amazingly beautiful places. You feel as if you yourself are in a Bob Rose painting.

It wasn't hard to get this angle. In fact, the photo you took towards the lake from every part of this area offers you a very nice angle. It kind of makes you feel like a bit of a professional photographer.

In the second photo, there is Kerem Ali Hill, one of the most famous hills of Sakarya. There are two reasons why it is famous; The first one is the highest peak of Sakarya. The second is the hill where the story of the two brothers mentioned in the narrations takes place.

According to this rumor; the remaining three siblings after four of the seven siblings died; Kerem, Ali and Hasan come here to join one of the wars for the Islamization of Anatolia. After reaching the foot of the mountain by boat, Kerem and Ali get off the boat, but Hasan gives up and tries to return in dangerous bloody water. His brothers call 'Stop Hasan' to stop him, but Hasan dies by drowning in the stream. This region at the foot of the mountain is called DurHasan.

Kerem and Ali, on the other hand, reach the hill with their feet bleeding and become martyrs there. According to the rumor in this part (findings were weak, we couldn't see anything clearly), the blood on his feet left traces on the stone. However, the most important feature of this place is its magnificent and eye-catching view.

In the third photo, we encountered a bungalow or one of the triangular village houses on the way to Kerem Ali Hill, one of the most important and hard to reach places in Akyazı.

The fourth photo is the house where the family of my guide friend İhsan Dinç lived. In Akyazı, there are houses with such gardens in the surrounding villages in general.

İhsan Dinç (photo at the end); He is fluent in German and Arabic. He guides Arab and German tourists to various parts of Turkey. He is an active person in many matters in his normal life. Here, many young people have been seen to participate in sports activities. It has led to the training of many people in the sport of karate.

In the fifth photo, there is the view from the other side of the pond I mentioned earlier.

n this photo, it is a picture of a village road that I can't remember exactly. There are many villages in Akyazı, but the villages are close to each other. They liken this district to the Eastern Black Sea Region. Hazelnuts and corn are abundant. The only difference is that tea does not grow here.

In the last photo, it is a camping memory that we stayed with İhsan brother (Dinç) when the weather was a little warmer. We shot this at the end of the summer. İhsan Dinç is a guide, he knows German and Arabic very well.

Conclusion;

I recommend you to visit Akyazı district of Sakarya. On the one hand, there are places where trout facilities are located, on the other hand, there are nearby towns and beautiful places to see. (Hendek, Kuzuluk, Altındere and central Adapazarı)
