[2025 Ankara Attraction] Travel Guide for Tuz Golu (Updated May)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 On the way to Safranbolu after leaving Cappadocia, We stopped at a rest stop at Lake Tuz. This is a rest stop and a very large tourist attraction. But in order to catch the bus, we were only allowed to stay here for 30 minutes. 30 minutes is not enough to walk around and take pictures. Because this place is so beautiful. After getting off the bus, walk through the various souvenir areas. After walking a short distance, you will slowly see white salt on the ground. Keep walking forward, the white salt will become denser and denser, and you can take photos that will impress internet celebrities. But there was not enough time, so there was no way to get to the front. Therefore, we had to turn back without seeing the pink color of the lake surface. This is the most regrettable part of traveling with a group. You cannot control the length of your stay. Finally, my cousin and I decided to book a room in the most beautiful place. Take photos to leave precious memories.

Lake Tuz (Tuz Gölü) is located in the Anatolian Plateau in central Türkiye. It is the second largest lake in Türkiye and one of the lakes with the highest salinity in the world. "Tuz" means "salt" in Turkish, so Lake Tuz is also called "Salt Lake". 1️⃣ Natural "Sky Mirror" Every summer, the lake water evaporates in large quantities, forming a layer of white salt crust on the lake surface. The clear lake water reflects the sky, forming an amazing "Sky Mirror" scene. This reflection effect makes people feel like they are in a dreamlike world, similar to the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia. 2️⃣ Ecology and viewing season Lake Tuz is not only a magnificent natural landscape, but also an important habitat for birds such as flamingos. The best time to visit is summer (June to September), when the lake is shallower and the reflection of the sky is most stunning. In addition, during the annual bird migration season, you can also enjoy the beautiful sight of large numbers of flamingos playing in the lake. 3️⃣ Travel Tips • Transportation: Lake Tuz is located between Ankara and Konya, and can be reached by car in about 2 hours from Ankara. • Photography Tips: We recommend choosing sunrise or sunset when the light is soft and the reflections are clearest. Wearing brightly colored clothing can create very artistic photos. • Note: The salt layer on the lake surface is hard but thin in some areas. Be careful when walking to avoid stepping on it and falling into the lake water. If you like natural wonders and photography, Lake Tuz is definitely worth a visit!

📍Attraction address: Tuz Golu is located in the central Anatolian Plateau of Türkiye, at the junction of Ankara-Konya-Aksaray. About 50 kilometers southeast of Ankara, the capital of Türkiye, is the entrance to the scenic area, which is a natural salt lake. 🚗 Transportation to the scenic spot: It is a self-driving [Car] scenic spot. If you are traveling by chartered car, you can ask the driver to stop at this scenic spot on the way from Ankara to Konya or Goreme. 👍️Must-see attractions: [One] Salt Lake Reflection: When the weather is clear, the blue sky and white clouds are reflected on the mirror-like surface of the salt water, forming a beautiful picture. It is a great time to take photos. You can stand by the lake, with the salt lake as the background, and take photos of people's reflections, as if you are in a mirror of the sky. [Two] Natural Landscape: When we passed by this time, it was the dry season of the salt lake, and large areas of salt flats were exposed. As far as the eye could see, there was salt spreading endlessly in all directions, just like a blanket of snow on the plain. [Three] Salt industry culture: Lake Tuz is the source of most of Türkiye’s edible salt. You can visit the salt fields and learn about the salt production process and related culture. An ecological zone of a certain size has been freely formed at the entrance of the scenic area, where you can stop to rest and learn about the culture. 🎟️Ticket information: Lake Tuz is currently free to visit. The lake is large, but there is only one entrance. Parking in the scenic area is also free. 💗Other tips: The climate in the area where Lake Tuz is located is dry, which can be felt by looking at the direct sunlight in the photo. The annual rainfall in central Turkey is low and the evaporation is high. The long-term drought climate causes the lake water replenishment to be less than the evaporation, causing the lake water to continue to decrease.

Salt Lake (Tuz Gölü Tuz in Turkish) (one of the most beautiful salt lakes in the world) If you don't have a car🚙, we recommend joining a one day tour, because it's too far. tour I found at a backpacker inn, both in English and Mandarin. But to see if the number of registrations can be enough for two-lingual tour guides. Once you arrive you will enter a shop selling souvenirs, immediately there will be two Turkish staff forcibly put coarse salt in your hand for you to try, after taking the nanalin away you have to ignore it. Wash your hands as a scrub. 🤲🏻 Remember to be sure to bring slippers🩴, otherwise you will be in pain after a couple of steps. The salt is very rough when walking without slippers would be super painful! And sunscreen 🌞🌞🌞! ! ! Wear a hat🧢! ! Salt Lake is really beautiful🥹 Pink lake with blue sky and white clouds! Luckily it came at the right time! Unlucky to encounter a situation that is not pink, or the lake has no water! If you have to go remember to search for more information on the internet! #TurkeyTravel #PinkSaltLake #Tuz Gölü #TuzLake #Turkish Attractions #TurkeyFreeTour #TurkeyTravel #TurkeyTour

Turkey's key photo trip is this Sky Mirror🌟 Although the photo looks great, but in fact, the salt level is different from the real Sky Mirror, so the reflection may not be so clear However, in the end, I would recommend people who live in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, to visit first, as the drive is quite far 🤢 #turkey
