Dazkırı
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dazkırı is a large district of Afyonkarahisar Province, Turkey, 140 km from the city of Afyon on the road to Denizli. The climate in the district is hot and dry in summer, and cold and wet in winter.
Acıgöl, the second-largest alkaline lake in the world, is largely within this district. On the Denizli side of the lake there are plants extracting sodium sulphate, but the Dazkırı lake-shore is still agricultural. There is also potential for mining chrome and other minerals.
Dazkırı is known for its hand-woven carpets.
[edit] Notable natives
The actor Aykut Oray is from Dazkırı.
