"Tefenni, A small picturesque village in the middle of nature where many trips can be made both in winter and in summer"

Tefenni is a very small village and a district that is very rural between mountains in the province of Burdur in the Mediterranean area. From Tefenni you can ski in winter in the nearby ski center Salda Kayak Centre.

The beautiful Salda Lake, also called "the Turkish Maldives", is also nearby, where you can enjoy walking, cycling and swimming in the summer. It is estimated that Lake Salda was formed about 2 million years ago. This crater lake is one of the deepest (184 m), clearest and cleanest tectonic lakes in Turkey. The characteristics of Lake Salda are the white sandy beaches and the turquoise water, because there is magnesium in the water, the sand gets its white color. If something is in the water for a long time it will turn white and this proves that the lake is still producing magnesium at this time.

Lake Salda is very special for another reason because it is 1 of the two places in the world where features of the planet Mars occur, because the white clayey soil on the shores of Lake Salda also occur on Mars.

Lake Salda and the surrounding black pine forests have native plant and animal species unique to this region. There are 3 species of freshwater fish in the lake and around the lake in the woods there are animals such as wild boars, foxes and turtles. Two species of mullein grow only on the southern shore of Lake Salda.
