Eğirdir is a lake in the Lakes Region of Turkey. The town of Eğirdir lies near its southern end, 107 kilometers north of Antalya. With an area of 482 square kilometres it is the fourth largest lake in Turkey, and the second largest freshwater lake.
The town and the lake were formerly called Eğridir, a Turkish pronunciation of the town's old Greek name Akrotiri.Eğridir means "it is crooked" in Turkish, so to remove the negative connotations, in the mid-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 lake by its former name.
