Eğirdir
Eğirdir is a town and district of Isparta Province in the Mediterranean region of Turkey.
==History==
The town and the lake were formerly called ''Eğridir'', a Turkish pronunciation of the town's old Greek name ''Akrotiri''. However, ''Eğridir'' means "it is crooked" in Turkish, and therefore, to remove the negative connotations of the name, in the 1980s the “i” and the “r” were transposed in a new official name, thus creating ''Eğirdir'', a name that evokes spinning and flowers, although many people in Turkey still call both the town and the nearby Lake Eğirdir by its former name.
The town was founded by the Hittites before falling to the Phrygians in around 1200 BC, and subsequently being conquered by the Lydians, the Persians and the forces of Alexander the Great. The Romans called the town ''Prostanna''. During the Byzantine era, when it acquired its name of ''Akrotiri'' ("peninsula"), it was the seat of a bishopric. The Seljuks conquered it around 1080 and held it until the Hamidoğulları tribe made it the capital of a small principality in 1280, which lasted until 1381.〔 The 14th century traveller Ibn Battuta described it as "a great and populous city with fine bazaars and running streams, fruit trees and orchards", which was situated beside "a lake of sweet water". The Ottomans took control in 1417. Most of its population consisted of Greek Orthodox people until the population exchanges of the 1920s.〔
