Discover Hacılar

Hacılar offers a range of reasons to visit: a cultural center with a conference and theater hall, a library, a renovated park in the central square, and opportunities for nature and sports in the Ortaseki Forests. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Hacılar, consider which of these themes you would most like to shape your trip: culture, local facilities or time in nature.

Culture at the Şehit Polis Ahmet Cihan Kilci Cultural Center

The Şehit Polis Ahmet Cihan Kilci Cultural Center began operating in Hacılar in 2015 and covers 3,200 square meters. Its facilities include a multipurpose conference and theater hall with 500 seats. The hall’s two functions give the cultural center a clear identity: conference and theater events share the same venue. For planning your trip, the center is a specific cultural point of interest in Hacılar, although this does not imply any particular event schedule.

The Halit Özkaya Library adds other spaces and facilities to this cultural picture. It has three classrooms, a reading room and a computer room. Its profile is therefore quite different from the cultural center’s large multipurpose hall. If you would also like to get to know Hacılar through its public facilities, you will find several different aspects side by side: a venue for conferences and theater, and a library with spaces for reading, learning and working on a computer.

The park in the central square

15 Temmuz Şehitler Parkı is located in Hacılar’s central square and covers 30,000 square meters. It has been completely renovated and transformed into a social center. Its location in the central square makes it a distinctive part of the town center; the renovation also reflects the park’s transformation into a social hub. If you enjoy taking in public spaces and the character of a place during a trip, you can make this park one of your points of interest in Hacılar.

This gives you a choice between culture and the town center when deciding on a theme for your trip: the cultural center and library represent cultural and educational facilities, while the park draws attention to the central square and a renovated public space. You do not need to combine these places into a fixed itinerary. Instead, you can decide which side of Hacılar interests you most during your stay.

Sports and nature in Hacılar

Hacılar Fevzi Mercan Stadium is also among the town’s facilities described here. Work on the stadium has been completed; it is a modern sports facility built to UEFA standards. It opened on August 28. Information about the facility, its standards and its opening provides a sporting point of interest alongside the cultural facilities and the park.

In the municipality, the Ortaseki Forests in Hacılar district welcome nature and sports enthusiasts throughout the year. Ortaseki is especially suitable for photography, nature walks and camping. These specific outdoor activities complement the facilities in town. If you are mainly looking for experiences in nature, these suggestions are clearly different from a stay focused more on the cultural center, library or central park.

When looking for a holiday apartment, it may help to weigh up these interests: first consider whether you want to discover Hacılar mainly for its cultural facilities, renovated park, stadium, or the nature and sports opportunities in Ortaseki. This lets you choose Hacılar based on the kind of trip you want, without assuming that the different places form a single route.
