Numerous crater lakes surround Karapınar, 94 km southeast of Konya, the most famous of which is the beautiful Meke Crater Lake with an island in the middle. When viewed from above, it appears as a black dot surrounded by blue water. Because of this image, the lake is considered the "Evil Eye of the World". On the north side of the road to Ereğli, 10 km from Karapınar, is Acı Crater Lake.
