A shallow salt lake behind Suvla Bay that dries out in summer and fills in winter, a regular stop for birdwatchers.

Safety warning

The lake bed turns to mud in the rainy season; do not drive onto it.

Its story

Tuz Gölü is a shallow lagoon lake at the western end of the Anafartalar plain, between Suvla Bay and the coast. The Suvla landing and the Anafartalar battles of August 1915 took place around this lake; during the war the dry lake bed determined the soldiers' paths as a flat plain. In winter and spring, when it holds water, flamingos and migratory waterbirds can be seen on the lake. In summer its dried-out bed turns white with salt crystals.
