From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
Good display of local findings especially from Sagalassos. The collection outgrew its original home in a 19th century Ottoman medressah but its present building is a modern retro recreation of that.
Doğa Tarihi Müzesi
Not much here except the skeleton of a mastodon, housed in a former Greek Orthodox church. During the 20th century this became a cinema then a builder's depot, obviously not a good builder as it fell down, before reconstruction as a museum.
Karstic show-cave. The name means water, for the lakes that were once within, but these have drained away.
Comfy hotel with spa and wellness centre, some fittings tatty.
Clean and friendly but smells of cigarette smoke.
Smart business hotel 6 km east of town by university campus.
Burdur is 127 km north of Antalya on Highway D650, which continues north to Afyon and Kütahya. Highway D330 crosses it, west to Muğla and Bodrum, and east to Isparta, Konya and Niğde.
