This place 140 km to Konya but it is one of the district of Konya. It wants to become a city. After I sow many beautiful thinks there I think it deserve this.
There is a men who gave his hurt to presentate Eregli Mr. Memduh Ekici. He organize photograghers meeting since 2 years every May. This activity will continou every year after this. If you ask what is there to see, first think
comes to my mind thankfulness day. Every May villagers (400-500 person) come together down at hill, they cook rice and meat and serve them with yoghurt. If the year is good for rain they thank the god if not they pray to god send more rain for the next year. They a specially gather down at the hill because rain comes from the hill. Villagers don’t let you leave from this area if you don’t eat something. Everybody asks you if you had something to eat. This shows very nice Turkish hospitality. I thanked to god one more time that I live such a beautiful country like this.
Near Eregli in Karapinar district obruks are interesting. These are big holes and consist fall down of the ground by the underground waters. Some of them full with water. But it is interesting they always fall down as circle shape. You can see some of them at Çıralı, Meyil and Gölhöyük. If you go there spring time and if you like taking photos you get nice sunset silhouette photos with sheeps.
You of course know that you should get photo of Meke Lake in Karapinar district with sunrise and sunset. Meke gives very nice photos at sunrise and sunset. If you go to spring time you can get photos of storks with their reflection in the Meke Lake. After sunrise they start flying on the top of Meke.
If you have chance to rent a jeep you must go to see wild horses at the hillside of Toros Mountains. This travel takes by car approximiately 2 hours from Eregli but certainly it worth it. Maybe You will see these wild horses only one time in your life. If you go there your jeep will stuck in the snow sometimes or you will pass from the mountain waters you will find your self in to adventure. When you reach up to hills you will see wild horses. But be carefull when they see you they run a way. This is the moment you should watch them. Their freely runings, whinny voices and passing from the middle of snows. All these moments are unbelievable impressive. You forget everything belongs to your life you just concentrated to that moment. On the way you will see many different birds don’t miss to watch them and take their photo too.
If you ask what to eat and where to accomodate I can recomend to you Fuat Bey Hotel (Tel: 0332 713 4435). It is small and clean per person 30 usd including breakfast. We have ate Meke meat ball. Which is very delicious, this cook with raw meat and wheat. They cut these two for a while than give meat ball shape and cook. But maybe you can’t find this in every where this was prepared for us a specially.
