In some areas, they charge a fee to visit the lake, but there's no way to go to the lakeside. "If you wander around the huge lake for a bit, there are plenty of places to get off at the lakeside. The forested area is quite beautiful, too. On the way from Salda Village to Doğanbaba...

It was so beautiful! The color is incredibly captivating. We went with a tour, so we couldn't enter because there was an event going on in the area where we could eat. Other than that, we wanted to get in the water and experience it. It's truly beautiful and clean, but be careful because it's clay-covered, so it can be quite inviting.

It's a beautiful natural wonder, but I think the first people to discover it enjoyed it. Now, when you look at the big beach from a distance, the other beaches aren't as white, there's a lot of clay. Even if you get in, it immediately feels like mud. It's definitely needed for preservation, but I don't think it's worth going anymore.

I wish I had seen it before it was destroyed. I feel so sad. It looked like a normal lake. We paid 120₺ for a car at the entrance. There are restaurants inside. People were swimming even though it was written that swimming was prohibited. It's so sad.

The water is incredibly beautiful and clear. However, the water has receded significantly. Despite the large no-swimming sign, people are swimming aimlessly. There's no supervision. We went to the other, innermost beach, but we didn't like it much. You can go to the White Islands side. It's located just to the right of the entrance.
