YALVAC
Kovada National Park, 30km south of Lake Egirdir,
surrounds Kovada Lake, a pristine and cool mountain
getaway Northeast of Isparta, Yalvac stands near the
ancient city of Pisidian Antioch. St. Paul and St.
Barnabas in 46 AD visited this area. Among the ruins
be sure to see St. Paul's Basilica, the aqueducts,
Augustus' Temple, the theater and public baths as you
walk along the city's marble streets. The
Archaeological Museum in Yalvac itself displays
several important regional artifacts. Tourists will
find not only leather clothing, but many interesting
traditional souvenirs made of animal hide. East of
Yalvac atop Karakuyu Hill, is the sanctuary of the
Moon God, (called Men), and the view from it is
breathtaking. Giant cedar trees grow in Kizildag
National Park, south of Yalvac, amid one of Turkey's
most splendid landscapes. You'll discover every corner
of Antalya with us.
