The sand of Salda Lake is white and reminiscent of the Maldives. That's why we're here in Turkey Maldives diyiy are also Saldivar. Magnesium is the mineral that gives the sand its white color. In fact, when there is something left in the lake for a long time, what is left turns white. This proves that the lake still produces magnesite.

There are 3 endemic freshwater fish in the lake and creatures such as wild boars, foxes and turtles around the lake. Two species of the mullein plant grow only on the southern coast of Salda.
