Serenity in Nature: Exploring Burdur’s Tranquil Landscapes

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.

Salda Lake

One of the most beautiful places in Burdur is Salda Lake (Salda Gölü), an iconic natural wonder of Türkiye. Called the Maldives of Türkiye, Salda is one of the clearest, cleanest, and deepest freshwater lakes in the world – it is said to be one of the two places on Earth that is similar to the rock structure of the planet Mars. The turquoise-hued lake is 185 meters deep and features white sandy beaches with a backdrop of black pine forests. The lake’s water contains magnesium, soda and clay, which is believed to be helpful for some skin diseases. Salda Lake has become a popular destination in recent years, both for health tourism and for activities such as sailing, canoeing, windsurfing and bird watching. The area is ideal for photographs and sunset watching.
