Ankara
Ankara is located at an intersection point of highways connecting east to west and north to south of Anatolia. The town is like a pot between four mountains of Anatolia Plateau with an altitude of 850-1000 meters. The mountains surrounding the city are: Karyağdı on the north, Idris on the east, Elmadağ on the south and southeast and Çal on the southwest.Between them, at a valley stretching on the southwest of the town three rivers run. Çubuk creek between Karyağdı and Idris mountains, Bent Stream between Elmadağ and Idris mountains and finally Incesu creek run between Elmadağ and Çal mountains. And those combine between Karyağdı and Çal mountains and flow into Sakarya River as Ankara stream.
Steppe climate is dominant in Ankara and therefore the summers are warm and dry and the winters are cold and snowy. The rain season is spring, especially May.
