Acıgöl: Crater Lakes in the Southwest
Acıgöl is the southwestern district, named for its mineral lakes and volcanic ground.
Named after the 'Bitter Lake' found within its borders, Acıgöl is defined by its dramatic volcanic geology. The district is scattered with maars, crater lakes, and stark landscapes shaped by the region's fiery past. It also hides lesser-known but fascinating historical sites, including the expansive Tatlarin Underground City, which features well-preserved rock-cut churches and vast storage areas once used by ancient communities.
