-	Like many Turkish wetlands this site can be among the best birding areas in the Western Palearctic or virtually birdless depending on water levels. This large lake, in the south-west of [[Turkey]], is rather saline and can cover more than 6,000ha with extensive marshes on the western shore. The surrounding area is largely cultivated with some woodland patches and Salicornia flats close to the lake. To the south there are wooded hills with breeding raptors and forest birds. The lake is an important stopover site for large numbers of migrant waterfowl and waders and a wide variety of species occur here in winter.	+	Like many Turkish wetlands this site can be among the best birding areas in the Western Palearctic or virtually birdless depending on water levels.

-	The Bafa Golu area is of great interest to botanists with a colourful array of orchids in bloom in May. These include Holy Orchid Orchis sancta, Bug Orchid Orchis coriophora, Anatolian Orchid Orchis anatolica, Yellow Bee Orchid Ophrys lutea and the related O. reinholdii and mammosa, and the Tongue Orchid Serapias lingua. Reptiles are well represented with Agama and [[Glass Snake]] particularly common. The wooded mountains to the south-east may still hold a few [[Brown Bear]].	+	The Bafa Golu area is of great interest to botanists with a colourful array of orchids in bloom in May.
