Eğirdir

Located on a peninsula extending into Lake Eğirdir at 926 meters elevation, this district features two connected islands and mountainous surroundings.

The area evolved from ancient Greek settlement Akrotiri to become capital of a small principality during medieval times under Hamidoğulları rule.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices on Lake Eğirdir throughout all seasons, contributing to the region's identity and economy.

The district experiences Mediterranean climate patterns with dry summers and cold winters, making spring and autumn optimal periods for outdoor activities.

A distinctive architectural element in Eğirdir includes a minaret integrated into city walls, allowing people to pass through its base.
