Abode of gods, then merchants

Aksu district, which lived its brightest times with the Romans and dated to the 1000s and 2000s with archaeological findings, is of great importance because it is a region where important trade routes intersect. The region, which was settled under the banner of the Kingdom of Arzava before the Romans and was called "Pisidia" at that time, continued its name as "Timbriada" in the Roman period for many years, and coins were minted in the region during this period. The region, which came under the rule of the Byzantine Empire with the end of the Roman Empire after being affiliated to the Akrotiri Diocese, continues to live as a region where trade still continued in the Anatolian Seljuk Period and in the Ottoman Period, despite the difficulties of transportation. It was called "Anamas" at that time.

According to the information obtained from the historical records, the life style changed in the region due to the migration of the local people by the nomads who migrated to the region continues with the change of its name to Aksu in 1965. Aksu can only become a district in 1987 with its low amount of investments and its closed economy. Aksu, which has been inhabited since ancient times, has arable lands, despite its terrestrial climate.

Aksu Attractions List

Tynada: Although we do not have detailed information about the establishment date and its inhabitants, the studies conducted show that the campus is dated to the Hellenistic Period. Inscriptions, rock tombs, temple and building ruins come to light with evidence exemplifying how high technology the Hellenes worked with compared to their time.

Timbriada: Although no official archaeological work has been done, the coins found in the district and the studies carried out on these coins, this settlement in the region dates back to BC. It is seen as contemporary to the 1000s. Coins and similar finds found here and some tombstones are still exhibited in Isparta Museum.

Eurymedon: The temple, which we can also call an open-air temple, was built in the Roman period and has been a place of worship for many years, and is located right in front of the city's dungeon cave and is dedicated to the Eurymedon God, also known as the God of Köprüçay. Three terraces, built with stone walls, when you enter the cave, in the first space on the right, there is the statue of the Eurymedon God, which is now on display in the Isparta Museum. You will reach the sanctuary by using the stairs descending from this gap to Köprü Çay. A vaulted bridge to cross the Köprü Çay was built during the Roman Empire, and it was aimed to reach the cemetery in the south. This single-arched circular structure, also known as the Zindan Bridge among the people, has a beauty that proves that it belongs to the years when human history did not actually need to harm nature in order to overcome the obstacles.

Köprü Çay Canyon: If you have progressed in the order we have given until now while you were on the Aksu expedition route, you will now see Sorgun Plateau, and you will reach the Zindan Pass while continuing from the banks of the Aksu River. With the addition of the waters of the Kartoz Stream, the water force, which turns into a kinetic energy that will pierce the limestone, will form "Kissing Rocks" as it is known among the people. We are sure that this view, where the high rocks on both sides of the canyon come close to each other from time to time and form the basis for wonderful photographs, is a rare type and we are sure that it will impress you.
