Burdur is a province in the Lake District of southwestern Turkey, home to the turquoise Salda Lake (nicknamed the 'Turkish Maldives'), the sprawling ancient Greco-Roman city of Sagalassos, and the soda-rich Lake Burdur teeming with flamingos. Flanked by the Taurus Mountains, the province offers a compelling mix of natural spectacle and deep archaeology in an unhurried setting.
