About Bolu
Bolu is a city of 145,000 inhabitants in the western Black Sea mountains — the gastronomic capital of Turkey and the most celebrated culinary city in the Anatolian interior, whose chefs (the 'Bolu aşçıları', the Bolu cooks) have dominated Turkish restaurant kitchens for over two centuries. The tradition of Bolu men leaving for Istanbul and other major cities to work as professional cooks (dating to the late Ottoman period, when Bolu villages became the primary source of trained chefs for Istanbul's restaurants and meyhanes) has made the name 'Bolu' synonymous with culinary excellence in Turkish culture — the Mengen district of Bolu (the 'Village of Cooks') holds an annual Chef Festival in August that is the most celebrated culinary event in Anatolia.
Bolu's natural setting — in the forested valleys of the Bolu Mountains, between the Black Sea ranges and the Central Anatolian plateau — gives it an exceptional natural landscape dominated by the Abant Lake (the most beautiful mountain lake in western Turkey, a glacial lake at 1,328 metres surrounded by forests of oak, beech and fir, one of Turkey's first national parks) and the Yedigöller (Seven Lakes) National Park (the most scenic forest and lake landscape in the western Black Sea region, its seven connected lakes and ancient beech forests receiving over a million visitors annually). The 1999 Düzce-Bolu earthquake (November 1999, Mw 7.2, the second major earthquake of that year after the İzmit disaster) devastated parts of the city, but the rebuilt Bolu has retained its gastronomic character.
Important Transfer Information
Gastronomic Capital of Turkey — The Bolu Cooks: Bolu's centuries-old tradition of professional cooking — the Bolu aşçıları who staffed Istanbul's finest restaurants and meyhanes from the late Ottoman period onwards — has made Bolu synonymous with Turkish culinary excellence. The Mengen Chef Festival (August) is the most celebrated culinary event in Anatolia; Bolu's restaurants (particularly those serving the region's lamb dishes, forest mushrooms and Black Sea-influenced cuisine) are among the finest in the Anatolian interior.
Abant Lake and Yedigöller — Finest Mountain Lakes in Western Turkey: Abant Lake (glacial, 1,328m, surrounded by oak and beech forest, one of Turkey's first nature parks) and the Yedigöller Seven Lakes National Park (seven connected glacial lakes in ancient beech forest, the most scenic lake landscape in the western Black Sea region) give Bolu a natural setting of extraordinary beauty — both are within 30km of the city and easily combined in a day excursion.
TEM/E80 Bolu Mountain Transfer: The transfer from Ankara Airport to Bolu takes approximately 115 minutes via the TEM/E80 motorway west through the Bolu Mountains — the main Ankara–Istanbul motorway corridor, crossing the dramatic Bolu Mountain viaducts (the highest motorway viaducts in Turkey).
