Description
Between the town of Çardak and the railway line, 55km/34mi east of Denizli at the western tip of the large Lake Acigöl, stands the well-preserved Çardak Hani. This Seljuk caravanserai with five aisles, each with two massive towers (one with five and one with three sides), was endowed in 1230 by Rasideddin Iyaz, a general of the sultan Alaeddin Kaykobad. Above the porch an inscription is flanked by two lions. Known in antiquity as Anaua Limne, Lake Acigöl (836m/2,742ft) covers an area of 1,153sq.km/445sq.miles but can often dry up in the summer months.
