Isparta Province

Isparta Province is an administrative region in southwestern Turkey's Mediterranean area, spanning 13 districts with multiple freshwater lakes. The territory features hills and valleys that historically connected different trade routes.

The Seljuk Turks took control after 1071 and transformed the region's character. In the 19th century, settlers from the Balkans brought new population groups to the area.

The region remains known for its carpet weaving and rose cultivation, traditions that shape daily life. Visitors see roses and handmade textiles everywhere, reflecting the skill passed down through generations.

The region connects to major cities through road networks and is easy to navigate. The best time to visit is spring or autumn when the weather is mild and pleasant.

A significant share of Turkey's apple production comes from this region, especially from three smaller towns. This agricultural focus reveals how the local economy depends on specific crops.
