BULDUR, or BURDUR, chief town of a sanjak of the Konia vilayet in Asia Minor. It is called by the
Christians Polydorion. Its altitude is 3150 ft. and it is situated in the midst of gardens, about 2 m. from the brackish
lake, Buldur Geul (anc. Ascania Limne). Linen-weaving and leather-tanning are the principal industries. There is a good
carriage road to Dineir, by which much grain is sent from the Buldur plain, and a railway connects it with Dineir and Egirdir.
Pop. 12,000.
