Çardak is a town and a district of Denizli Province of Turkey.

It is situated on the road

from Denizli to Ankara near the banks of the Lake Acıgöl.
Denizli's airport (Çardak Airport) is in Çardak.
A very notable sight in the town is the caravanserai of Hanabad, built in the 13th century by the local ruler
Esedüddin Ayaz during the reign of Seljuk sultan Alaeddin Keykubad I. It bears typical characteristics
of Seljuk caravanserais and on its stones are carved fish, cow and human relics.
A small village until the early years of the Turkish Republic, Çardak started growing as of 1958 when it was
made into a district. Streets and buildings are well arranged and it is a tidy little town.
The economy is based on agriculture, and surface mining of sodium sulfate reserves in Lake Acıgöl whose
name means "the bitter lake". Services rendered to the airport are also taking an increasingly important share
in the town's economy. Hanabad Caravanserai is being restored.
