Its story
Eğirdir Han lies south of the town, on the old caravan road between Antalya and Konya. Dated to the reign of the Seljuk Sultan Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev II, the building's thick stone walls and entrance section are partly still standing. The han is a reminder that the region lay on an important medieval trade route. Seen from the Akpınar road, it forms an impressive silhouette against the lake view.
