Isparta rose harvest is one of the magnificent beauties in Turkey. In Isparta, our country's rose garden, the roses are blooming and the harvest season has begun. This rose-scented festival, which will last until the end of June, will see roses collected from vast rose gardens and taken to factories where rose-scented soaps, colognes, delights, jams, and cleaning products will be made. During the Isparta rose harvest, participants can also gather roses alongside those harvesting them and visit the factories. If you are ready to hit the road for a delightful festival, we are running towards Isparta among the roses.
In the morning, after a free breakfast at our hotel, we set off for Güneykent Town in the early hours to experience the rose harvest. The rose harvest starts at dawn every day and is completed by 10:00 am before the sun's intensity increases. We take our place in the rose gardens to witness these special moments and join local women producers in the rose-picking experience, becoming part of this unique process. Next, we proceed to the rose oil factory to observe the stages of processing the harvested roses and gain insights into the production process. After the factory visit, during free time, you can purchase handmade gifts prepared by Güneykent women, as well as local products such as rose oil, rose jam, rose cream, and rose syrup. As our tour continues, we head towards Lake Salda, known as the Maldives of Turkey. Recognized as one of the deepest and clearest lakes in the world, Lake Salda is also referred to as the “Mars Surface Lake” due to its similarity to the Martian terrain. This unique natural wonder has been protected as a first-degree natural site since 1989. We take a photo break to enjoy the scenery. After our visit to Lake Salda, we proceed to our hotel. Upon arrival at the hotel, we settle into our rooms and have dinner to conclude the day. A delightful day of nature, culture, and experience awaits you with DGN Travel.
