Things to do in Burdur

Burdur is a wonderful city waiting to be discovered with its nature and history. There are so many things to do when you come here that you may not know where to start.

Salda Lake is a must-see for nature lovers. The white sand and turquoise waters will make you feel like you are in the Maldives. Here you can swim, camp or just take peaceful walks by the lake. It is also very pleasant to visit Insuyu Cave, Turkey's first cave opened for tourism. The stalactites and stalagmites inside will fascinate you.

For history buffs, the ancient cities of Sagalassos and Kibyra are ideal stops. Dating back to the Roman and Byzantine periods, it is possible to wander through history in these places. Burdur Archeology Museum allows you to get to know the region's thousands of years of history.

If you are looking for an enjoyable festival or event, you can attend the Salda Youth Festival in summer. Days full of music, dance and fun await you here. Gölhisar Festival is also a great option for local flavors and cultural events.

If you like hiking and camping, the trails around Kumar Plateau and Köprülü Canyon are for you. Burdur City Forest and the surrounding campsites are also great for a peaceful break.
