Since time immemorial they come here for a winter stop, the flamingos. It is a challenge for us that these apartments are built in the immediate vicinity of this nature reserve.
The water is special for the flamingos. Before a dam was built to Bogazici, this was an open connection with the sea. By means of a mixture of seawater and freshwater, the right food for the flamingos now lives here. And that thanks to this dam.

Do you know?
That the color of the flamigos is determined by the dyes in their food?
That Bogazici means bosporus or strait.
