Beaches & Boat Trips
From Eğirdir's western shore by the castle, to the peninsula's tip at Yeşilada, several relaxing small beaches exist,
some with changing cabins and food stalls. There are also beaches outside town; enquire at your pension or the
Eğirdir Outdoor Center ( Click here ), which also arranges boat trips (per person " 50) . The seven-hour trip in-
volves visiting hidden coves, swimming, sunbathing and a fresh fish lunch. Trips run from 15 June to 15 September.
