Eskikaraağaç, Karacabey
Eskikaraağaç is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Karacabey, Bursa Province in Turkey.[1] Its population is 199 (2022).[2]
The village is located on a very small peninsula, inshore of Lake Uluabat. The local community is composed of people who immigrated from Drama, Greece in 1924 as a result of population exchange between Greece and Turkey, and people who immigrated from Bulgaria in 1937.[3]
Eskikaraağaç is a Ramsar site. Local people are mainly employed in agriculture, and fisheries.[3] The village is designated for its dedication to the protection of the white storks and therefore is a member of European Stork Villages Network since 2011.[4] The village is running an annual “Stork Festival” in early summer since 2005.[5] The friendship between a fisherman and a stork (Yaren) in the village was filmed and was awarded as best documentary at 2020 International Prague Film Awards.[6]
