Unique salt formations created by the receding waters of Lake Tuz in central Türkiye are attracting growing numbers of visitors and photographers. The natural structures, especially visible near Aksaray’s Eskil district, have gone viral on social media, boosting tourism to the lake.
Shaped like daisies and mushrooms, the salt flats form striking patterns across the lake’s white surface, creating postcard-like scenes. Tourists from across Türkiye and abroad are visiting to photograph the landscape and walk barefoot on the mineral-rich ground.
Visitors say the formations resemble Pamukkale’s travertines, adding that Lake Tuz offers both visual beauty and natural health benefits.
