Eflani

Eflani is a district and a town of Karabük Province in the Black Sea region of Turkey. Eflani is located at 100 km south of the Black Sea.

Eflani has marble quarries, and most of them are exported.

Eflani, 46 km away from, and to the east of, Karabük, is settled on a plateau divided by small rivers among the high mountains and valleys.

In Eflani, the traces of past civilizations are the rock tombs, historic ducts, tombs and mosques in the district center and in the periphery. Eflani served as defense fortification on the route connecting the Amasra colony with inner Anatolia in the antiquity and in the middle ages.

Having a very rich vegetation due to its humid climate, Eflani serves as a promenade site for the region, with its forests and three ponds. For a certain period, the demand for animals and animal products in the region was met by Eflani, and today the animal breeding though lost its former significance, is still an important subsistence.

What makes Eflani significant in the province are the rich marble ores. The marbles are extracted as blocks and are exported by companies of private sector.
