Stefani

Stefani lies in the upland country west of Burdur, among basins enclosed by the western Taurus. Known in Turkish sources as İstefani, the older settlement formed part of a district between Burdur, Elmalı and the Gölhisar country. It passed from Byzantine to Türkmen and Ottoman rule as power shifted across southwestern Anatolia. The surrounding plain and hills distinguish this inland landscape from the Mediterranean coast beyond the mountains.
