description Bafa Lake Overview
Bafa Lake is a lake in western Turkey near the Aegean coast, bordered by Mugla and Aydin provinces. It was once part of the ancient Gulf of Latmos, but sediment deposited by the Buyuk Menderes River gradually separated it from the sea. The lake lies beside the ruins of Heracleia ad Latmos and the Besparmak Mountains, and its wetlands, islands, archaeological remains, and birdlife make it important for both conservation and historical study.
