salt lake

Dear friends,

THE MOST ATTRACTIVE

PLACE OF OUR REGION IS

CERTAINLY : SALT LAKE

You can see the best sunset of Salt Lake in Şereflikoçhisar.

• This is a saying of Atatürk, our greatest

leader.

• He was absolutely right. The sun goes

down so beautifully that you would like to

watch it again and again.

Lake Tuz (Turkish: Tuz Gölü meaning Salt Lake) is the second largest lake in Turkey with its

1,665 km2 (643 sq mi) surface area and one of the largest hypersaline lakes in the world.[1] It is

located in the Central Anatolia Region, 105 km (65 mi) northeast of Konya, 150 km (93 mi)

south-southeast of Ankara and 57 km (35 mi) northwest of Aksaray. It is within our town,

ŞEREFLİKOÇHİSAR

In 2001, Lake Tuz was declared a specially protected area, including all of the lake

surface and surrounding waterbeds and some of the important neighboring steppe

areas. The main Turkish breeding colony of Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus

roseus) is present on a group of islands in the southern part of the lake. Greater

White-fronted Goose (Anser albifrons) is the second largest breeder here.Lesser

Kestrel (Falco naumanni) is a common breeder in surrounding villages.

Flamingos live in Salt Lake.
