Lisinia Nature Park

Located in the Karakent village of Burdur, Lisinia Nature (Lisinia Doğa) was initiated by Veterinarian Öztürk Sarıca on the shore of Lake Burdur in 2005. The starting point of Lisinia Nature is defined as the rapid degradation in nature and the resulting diseases. Lisinia Nature is run entirely on voluntary efforts and implements a range of nature projects that have developed and diversified since its establishment. It is also one of Türkiye’s first official Wildlife Rehabilitation Centres. The Park takes its name from Lisinia, one of the most important cities of the region, which in antiquity was called Pisidia. “Lisinia” refers to the “glimmer of the rising and setting sun, the moonlight in the water”. Lisinia Nature, where wild animals are rehabilitated, enchants visitors with its aromatic gardens and intriguing structures made of wood and lavender.
