Isparta is Turkey's rose capital, nestled in the scenic Lakes Region of southwestern Anatolia. Famous worldwide for producing the finest rose oil used in luxury perfumes, this tranquil province enchants visitors with its fragrant rose fields, vast freshwater lakes, ancient ruins, and year-round outdoor adventures including skiing on Davraz Mountain.
Isparta is accessible by air via Süleyman Demirel Airport (ISE), 27 km southwest of the city, with daily flights to Istanbul and Ankara. Long-distance buses serve Ankara, Istanbul, Antalya, Konya, and major Turkish cities. Within the province, dolmuş (shared minibuses) connect Isparta city to Eğirdir, Atabey, Uluborlu, and surrounding towns. A car is strongly recommended for visiting Sagalassos, Davraz Mountain, Yazılı Canyon, and Kovada Lake, as these are inaccessible or very inconvenient by public transport.
