İhsaniye District Governor İsmail Bildirici said that the district hosts various beauties of Phrygia with its 3 thousand years of history, emphasizing that Afyonkarahisar has a say in thermal tourism:


"There are many thermal hotels and facilities in Gazlıgöl-Yaylabağı towns of Ihsaniye. Especially during the upcoming semester break, thermal facilities will be the preferred spots for families and children. Guests who come to our city for thermal can visit the historical Phrygian Valley. The caves, historical sites and chapels in Ayazini village can also be visited at night with the lighting. Here, at the point of gastronomy, various local flavors are offered to guests in restaurants and boutique cafes."

Explaining that the place where the hot air balloon flies over the lake is Phrygia, Bildirici said, "Tourists like our Emre Lake very much and find it beautiful. Hot air balloon flights made here are among the few spots in Turkey. This is a great advantage for Phrygia. We want to promote this even more. We recommend vacationers to have this fun experience over the lake during the semester. Together with the healing waters of the thermal springs, our vacationers can walk, trekking and perform different sportive activities among the historical sites in Phrygia."
