‘Turkey gave us one of the most exhilarating experiences of our lives’: readers’ travel tips
Stunning beaches, car-free islands and reminders of antiquity feature in our tipsters’ picks from the Aegean to the Black Sea. Plus, the best rice pudding ever …
Lake Eğirdir is the fourth largest lake in Turkey and the town of Eğirdir (80 miles north of Antalya), which sits on the southern edge of the lake, is sometimes used as a stopover for coach travellers as they travel between the tourist hotspots of Cappadocia and Pamukkale. If you can, stay longer. We stayed three nights at Choo Choo Pension, on the island of Yeşilada (or Green Island), which is connected to the mainland by a causeway. It was incredibly tranquil in April. Eğirdir’s restaurants and shops are a short walk away and a few days spent relaxing by the lake were bliss. Head to Kroisos Restaurant for great food and views of the lake.
