Akçay

“Where to find Halal food or a Halal restaurant in Akçay, or perform Salat in a mosque in Akçay?“ “Those are some of the questions Muslim travelers often ask when traveling to Akçay.“ Akçay is based in Northern Aegean, Türkiye.

Introduction

One of the popular summer resort citys lining the northern coast of the Gulf of Edremit in a succession, Akçay stands out with its ice-cold seawater, due to the freshwater discharge from the seabottom.

Halal Sightseeing Tips

• Hasanboğuldu | An area of small waterfalls and quite deep ponds on the hillside in verdant surroundings, Hasanboğuldu is a popular local picnic and freshwater swimming spot (though, with a constant temperature of 7°C/45°F it's just as, if not more, "refreshing" as the seawater below at Akçay). However beautiful and peaceful the place nowadays may be and there is a tragic love story behind the name of the place, which literally translates "Hasan was drowned": Hasan, a young farmer from the lowland village of Zeytinli, fell in love with Emine, a sturdy maiden from the nomadic tribes of the mountain. As a marriage between a sedentary farmer and a nomad was frowned upon and there was no way for Emine to move into Hasan's village and as such Hasan would have to move to the upland pastures. Emine's family set a condition for Hasan to fulfill, so that he could prove that he would be hardy enough to overcome an austere mountain lifestyle: He had to carry 50 kg of pure salt over the mountains to Emine's tribe. Having failed the objection by knocking down at the halfway, Hasan committed a suicide in one of the ponds in what is now Hasanboğuldu. Emine, upon hearing the death of her lover, has also committed a suicide as well, by hanging herself on one of the plane trees next to the pond.
