What makes this place unique
Terrain, waters and landscape
Forest
This local forested area within the borders of Polateli consists mostly of drought-resistant oak species. Surviving on steep slopes outside intense agricultural activities, this green cover provides a sheltered area for local wildlife. It is vital for maintaining the ecological balance and preventing soil erosion in the Kilis basin. The grove's spread is indicated on the Map page.
