Eğirdir, a town of 20,000 inhabitants, is peacefully located at the southern end of the lake of the same name. Along the shores of the lake the ancient royal road from Babylon to Ephesus once ran. The name of the town is a constant source of ridicule since Eğirdir means as much as “she is crooked”. Originally it was supposed to be a reference to spinning. However, this quiet town is still an ideal place to relax.
Das 20.000 Einwohner zählende Eğirdir
Türkei, Eğirdir
liegt friedlich am Südende des gleichnamigen Sees, an dem einst schon die antike Königsstrasse von Babylon nach Ephesus vorbeiführte. Ihr Name gibt ständig Anlass zu Witzen, bedeutet Eğirdir doch übersetzt „Sie spinnt“.No InterWiki reference defined in properties for Wiki called "laut Wikipedia"! Gemeint ist damit natürlich das Spinnen von Wolle. Jedenfalls bildet die ruhige Stadt einen idealen Platz zum Entspannen.
