Nicknamed the "Maldives of Turkey," Salda Lake is one of the world's most stunning natural formations, featuring white magnesium sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters. When walking on the shore, it is difficult to appreciate the complete gradient of the water colors. However, booking a Salda Lake gyrocopter flight with Pamair lets you see this natural wonder from a 360-degree aerial perspective.
