There was a public holiday in Turkiye in the middle of the week. I used it to take what has become a familiar route through the suburban hills of Balçova. I had walked it several times before, but each time by a slightly different route, and so I had never found the spring at the end of this route. This time I was better prepared and found Halkapınar çeşmesi. It was neither a spring nor a waterfall, but a small stream flowing into the Balčova dam. There are ancient trees along the bed of the rivulet. A nice shady place for a tired tourist to rest!😜The total distance was about 20km and the elevation gain was 770m. wikiloc
