EGRIDIR
Egirdir, at the southern end of Lake Egirdir, is set
in idyllic natural surroundings. Among the man-made
monuments, Egirdir Castle built by the Lydian King
Croesus shows the additions and renovations of the
Romans, Byzantines and Seljuks. The Seljuk Kemerli
Minare has felt the changes of the modern world today
it stands in the middle of a road. At lake side
restaurants you can sample white bass, the local
specialty. A boardwalk connects the shore to Egirdir
island where weavers erect their looms and work
outside their houses. On the western side of the lake,
up in the hills, Barla's guesthouses provide a
wonderful opportunity for relaxation.
