LAKE EĞIRDIR, TURKEY | Things To Do In Turkey's Hidden Gem Eğirdir!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 сер 2024
- Lake Eğirdir is a hidden gem in Turkey. It’s a place where natural beauty meets history. It’s a place where you’ll experience the unique Turkish culture and connect with fellow travelers. This quaint town has been able to maintain its charm and laid-back vibe thanks to a lack of resorts. We stayed 5 days in Lake Eğirdir and explored everything this area had to offer.
In this video, we break down the best things to do in Lake Eğirdir!
6. Visit Yazili Canyon & Lake Kovada National Park
Both are in the same direction from Eğirdir and can easily be combined in one visit as a day trip. Kovada National Park is great for hiking and enjoying the abundant flora & fauna. There are beautiful hiking trails and viewpoints all around the lake so you can easily spend a few hours in the park. Yazili Canyon is 30km further south of Lake Kovada. The canyon is a tranquil spot, perfect for climbing, hiking, swimming and simply enjoying the untouched nature.
5. Salda Lake
Salda Lake is a two-hour drive from Lake Egirdir, but a must-visit when in the area. Also called “the Maldives of Turkey”, this crater lake has white sand beaches and clear, turquoise blue waters. But one of the most interesting things about Lake Salda it it’s unique geology. It’s one of the only places in the world where ancient stromatolite algae still grow.
4. Meet fellow backpackers at Fulya Pension
Fulya Pension is located in the heart of Eğirdir and a great place to connect with fellow backpackers, long-distance hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Its rooftop terrace offers a 360 degree panoramic view of the lake and the mountains. We ranked this place to stay in our top things to do in Eğirdir because our experience wouldn’t have been the same without it.
3. Walk Eğirdir and its islands
The third best thing to do is to walk the islands of Eğirdir. Home to two connected islands, Can Ada and Yeşil Ada, Eğirdir boasts some amazing lake views. You’ll find many cafés and restaurants scattered around the old town, but there are also some beautiful beaches to relax and outdoor activities to enjoy.
2. Visit the Sagalassos Ruins
The Sagalassos Ruins are about a 1 hour and 20 minute drive from Lake Eğirdir and one of our favorite ruins in Turkey. This ancient city dates back to 1200 BC and was once a vibrant community. Its ruins are widespread and set between jagged peaks, which makes for an impressive setting.
1. Hiking Mt. Sivri behind town
Our favorite thing to do in Lake Eğirdir is to hike the mountain that towers above the town. Mount Sivri sits at 1749m and makes for a good day walk. You can decide to start at either Eğirdir or the mountain village of Akpinar, which is located at the base of the mountain. We started the hike from Akpinar, which was about 7.5 km and took 3.5 hours.

Beautiful area, great video
Thanks! 😀
This area looks really cool! Thanks for the great video and tips!
It is! And the craziest thing is that few people really know about it... 😌
We are planning a trip to turkey this october, your series really helped a lot! Thank you!
Thanks for watching! Enjoy your trip in Turkey!
Hello ! We are going in Turkey soon and we want to make a stop in Egirdir. The hike to Mt Sivri looks amazing ! Is it 3.5 hours one way to the top or for the entire round trip (back to akpinar) ? Thanks a lot :)
Hi! That’s awesome. Such a hidden gem that many people skip. The hike is incredible and we didn’t see anyone else along the trail. It was 3.5 hours total for us so it took about 2 hours up and 1.5 down. The trail can be tricky sometimes but just keep going towards the peak and you’ll be fine!
Can you please give more information about the hike to Mt. Sivri? where do you park the car and how to find the trail from the parking lot? Thank you
You can park your car in Akpinar, which is a tiny village. We parked here: Akpınar Köyü Cami, 32500 Akpınar/Eğirdir/Isparta. Copy-paste that into google maps and you’ll find it! The hike itself doesn’t have many markers but the landscape is pretty open so you can just carve your path here and there!
Thank you
Looks like a very beautiful and relaxing place to visit. Love the colors of the lakes. Drone question for you. Do you have to register or do any type of paperwork to use your drone in all these countries or are they pretty liberal with allowing them? -Chris & Suzannah
Lake Egirdir is a must-see in Turkey! We loved it there. For Drone registration / rules, it’s different for every country. But we follow this website for the most up-to-date rules and follow them prior to anywhere we travel: uavcoach.com/
@@worldwildhearts thank you for sharing the website. Another great video by the way. Really enjoyed it. Safe travels!
Hi Zac, please advise if it is advisable to drive or if it is difficult to drive from Antalya to Lake egirdir & then onwards to Pamukkale, final stop at Kudasasi. Thank you.
It’s possible! We also had a car rental. Roads are very good in Turkey!
We are planning a trip to turkey this November. Can you share how did you travel to this place? Did you drive?
Yea we did have a rental car. That’s the easiest way to get here. Also, the lake is huge so to get to the hikes etc you’ll need a vehicle
@@worldwildheartsthanks ❤
There is a historical church in Yeşilada. Why didn't you go there?
We heard about it! Couldn’t fit it in with our other activities during our stay. Definitely another good thing to do in the area though 👍
@@worldwildhearts Actually, the interior of the church is empty. There is no activity to be done in the church, and it is closed to worship. I wanted to ask you out of curiosity because you were passing very close to the church in the video :) Shall I tell you a little secret? The mosques you see in Eğirdir were once churches and were converted into mosques over time. If you look very carefully, you can still see traces of the church :) But the people living there do not know this.
Oh wow we didn’t know that! Thanks for the info. We heard many orthodox Greeks were living in the area before so it definitely makes sense!
