About this experience
This tour combines the Turkish Maldives and Provence. In a group of up to 40 people, you will travel by bus to the colorful Lake Salda, relax on the white sands, and swim in the cool and clean water. The lavender fields will enchant you with their aroma and provide new settings for photos!
What to Expect
Lavender Fields are abundant in the Turkish region of Isparta. We will visit one of them: walking among the bushes of aromatic Lavandin, you will take many beautiful photographs. You will also try lavender products: ice cream, tea, coffee, and more – and if desired, you can purchase handmade products, souvenirs, or cosmetics.
Lake Salda is one of the numerous lakes in this region, the most beautiful and colorful. Snow-white shores, shades of turquoise, and clouds almost touching the water's surface will provide plenty of photo opportunities. You can also swim: the water temperature of 18 degrees Celsius is refreshing in the summer heat.
