A Lavender-Scented Visit: A Day Surrounded by Colors and Nature

A Lavender-Scented Visit: A Day Surrounded by Colors and Nature

:round_pushpin: Lavanta Kokulu Köy - Isparta

Known as the lavender paradise of Türkiye, this village transports visitors to a whole new atmosphere with its fragrant air and natural beauty. The fields bursting with purple hues create a visually stunning scene, and the refreshing lavender scent adds a peaceful charm to the experience.

Don’t Miss the Lavender Jam!
While you’re there, don’t forget to try the famous lavender jam. Its floral flavor is both surprising and delightful — a true local specialty that completes the lavender experience.

However, despite all this beauty, there are some downsides. Many people seem to visit solely for social media photos. I saw long lines just to take pictures on a swing, and most didn’t take time to enjoy the natural atmosphere. It’s a pity when connection with nature is lost in search of the perfect post.

Cleanliness Issue:
Sadly, the area suffers from poor maintenance. I noticed litter scattered around, especially near the viewing areas. A place this beautiful deserves more care from both visitors and organizers.

Travel Tips:
Avoid visiting during peak midday hours — the heat and humidity can be overwhelming. Bring plenty of water, wear a hat, and try to arrive early in the morning or later in the afternoon.

:wheelchair_symbol: Accessibility Note:
The pathways are mostly uneven dirt roads and some areas are on a slope. Unfortunately, there are no dedicated ramps or accessible paths, which can be challenging for people with mobility needs. Also, public transportation doesn’t reach all the way in — using a private car or taxi is a better option.

Final Thoughts:
Despite a few setbacks, this is a peaceful, visually rewarding destination where you can connect with nature. Visit not just for the photos, but for the scent, the view, the jam, and the moment. And remember — protect what you admire. :purple_heart:

These lavender fields are amazing; they remind me of the south of France. It’s a shame that people only come to take photos for Instagram, because for me, what’s really interesting is the scent of the lavender. Thank you for sharing this @vahit.ipek ! I’ve seen tulip fields in Holland before, but never a lavender attraction. Your pictures are magnificent !

Your words made me smile, Christophe :blush:
You’re absolutely right — the true beauty of lavender fields goes beyond photos. The scent, the calm atmosphere, the feeling of being surrounded by nature… all of it is magical.

Thank you for your kind message. I hope one day we can explore such beautiful places together and share the experience in person! :herb::camera_with_flash:

Warm greetings from Türkiye 🇹🇷

Thank you @renata1 your liking was happy. I appreciate your beautiful words. :innocent::folded_hands::türkiye:

Ich wusste nicht, dass Lavendel auch in der Türkei wächst @vahit.ipek sehr gut und richtig beschrieben, mit schönen Bildern.
Bei mir zu Hause grünt gerade eine kleine Lavendel Pflanze und für die Blüten braucht es mehr Wärme.
In Erinnerung habe ich die riesigen Lavendel Felder in Frankreich, ohne diese zu fotografieren.:blush::folded_hands:

Lavender jam, that sounds like a treat @vahit.ipek . Beautiful post, well described with beautiful pictures.

To connect with nature is a kind of passion. You have this. That place looks beautiful, particularlywith hills in the background. I have been to lavender fields and I really like the colors. Nature is always giving it best. It is what we take from it. Thanks for sharing your experiences and information.

Nature gives us magnificent colors, but do we know its value? I think No. You’re welcome, I always share my views, you guys, sir.

Google Haritalar yorumlarınızda engelli bireylerin erişilebilirliğine önem vermeniz takdire şayan. Türkiye’de bildiğimiz üzere engelli bireylere tanınan haklar çok az ve o haklara uyan yok.

Maalesef çok üzücü bir husus. Her insan engelli adayıdır. Bundan dolayı onlara yardımcı olmalıyız. Hiçbirimizin garantisi yok Allah herkese sağlık sıhhat versin inşallah da. Güzel sözlerine nail olduğum için mutlu oldum. Elimden geldiğince yardımcı oluyorum. Ama bu işin mimarı abim @KashifMisidia beni yönlendiren. İyilik bulaşıcıdır kardeşim senden de bekliyorum inşallah.
