Шаблон:Infobox Turkey place Eğirdir is a town in Isparta Province in the Mediterranean Region of Turkey. It is the seat of Eğirdir District.[1] Its population is 16,759 (2022).[2]
Eğirdir is located on a peninsula in Lake Eğirdir, with two nearby islands that are now connected to the mainland by a causeway. In the Middle Ages, the town was the capital of a small principality.
Geography
Eğirdir is located near the south end of Lake Eğirdir, on a peninsula extending northwards into the lake. Immediately southwest of Eğirdir is a mountain called Eğirdirsivrisi or Camili dağı, which rises to 1,733 m above sea level. Northeast of Eğirdir are two islands called Can Ada and Yeşil Ada, which are now connected to the mainland by a causeway. Yeşil Ada was formerly called Nis Ada, probably derived from Greek νησί (nesí) "island". The town is located about 110 km north of Antalya.[3]Шаблон:Rp
Climate
Eğirdir has a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen: Csa)[4] with some continental influence; hot, dry summers, and chilly, wet winters with frequent snow.[5]
History
The town and the lake were formerly called Eğridir, a Turkish pronunciation and possible appropriation of the town's old Greek name Akrotiri. Moreover, the name "Eğridir" means '(It) is bent.'.
The Greek name Akroterion (Шаблон:Lang-el) is first attested in 1438, although it was probably in use earlier, in Byzantine times. The discovery of numerous ancient coins suggests that there was an early settlement here. The ancient settlement of Prostanna was most likely located nearby, on the Eğirdirsivrisi mountain. The Seljuks first conquered it around 1080.[6] It was probably conquered along with Isparta in 1204 by Kilij Arslan III of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum. The later Seljuk sultan Kayqubad I probably built the town's citadel during his reign in the 1220s-30s.[3]Шаблон:Rp
In the 1300s, Eğirdir (also known as Falakābād during this period) became the capital of the Hamidoğulları beylik. Ibn Battuta, who visited the town in 1332 (and called it Akrīdūr in Arabic),[3]Шаблон:Rp described it as "a great and populous city with fine bazaars and running streams, mosques, fruit trees and orchards", which was situated beside "a lake of sweet water".[7] He also referred to merchant shipping on Lake Eğirdir at this point.[3]Шаблон:Rp The Hamidoğulları principality lasted until 1381.[6]
Can Ada was uninhabited in ancient and medieval times, but Yeşil Ada used to have a domed Christian basilica decorated with numerous frescoes which are stylistically dated to the 9th through 13th centuries. Another adjacent church, now converted into a mosque, was dated to the 14th century.[3]Шаблон:Rp
Timur captured Eğirdir in 1403,[3]Шаблон:Rp and then the Ottomans took control in 1417. Most of Eğirdir's population consisted of Greek Orthodox people until the population exchanges of the 1920s.[6]
Features
Eğirdir lies between Lake Eğirdir and the Mount Sivri, and contains the Eğirdir Castle said to have been built by Croesus, king of Lydia, although additions were built by the Romans, Byzantines, and Seljuks.
The population of Eğirdir was 19,469 in 2010, but swells in the summer months as part-time residents return for the holidays. Eğirdir is a fishing community and local residents fish in Lake Eğirdir year round.
Yeşil Ada (Turkish for "green island") is a small island connected to Eğirdir by a short causeway. Restaurants, hotels, pensions (pansyons or hostels), and a few private residences fill the island. Known for its past as a Greek village, Yeşıl Ada still has quite a few stone homes remaining from the Greek era.
Locals claim that Eğirdir is home to the world's only walk-through minaret.
