Here are the top 5 lakes from the lake district in Turkey, perfect for however you want to spend your time away from the big city and right in the middle of Mother Nature.
Lake Salda
Right in Burdur sits Lake Salda, known for the turquoise colors of the water and the white sand dunes that surround it.
Just bring your food and drink and spend the day basking in the beauty of this incredible location – and obviously don't forget to go for a dip in its cool waters.
Lake Eğirdir
Sun loungers, cushions, bean bags, and umbrellas dot Lake Eğirdir, which also has showers and changing cabins to attract beach-goers.
You can camp right on the beach as well in the specially zoned off camping grounds, making it a real beach experience.
Lake Burdur
Burdur is a saline lake and one of its features is that it doesn't freeze as a result.
This makes it an absolute heaven for birding in the winter, and many birds migrate here during the winter months.
Lake Beyşehir
Lake Beyşehir is Turkey's largest freshwater lake and is another of the birding paradises located in Turkey's lake district.
The sunset views of the lake are particularly famous, as the red of the sun is shaded by flying birds and a stunning natural setting.
Lake Eber
Lake Eber, as with many of other of the beautiful lakes of this region, is a bird sanctuary.
Canoeing around the lake and taking in the wildlife makes for a truly wonderful day out.
