== Geography == The village of Eğrigöz is located just west of the Emet Çayı stream, on a saddle-like landform connecting two rocky hills. The western hill is a cone-shaped rocky outcrop, while immediately above the village on the east is a steep rocky hill topped by a small plateau. On this plateau is the old fortress. Below the plateau is a rocky shelf that drops off sharply on the north, south, and east sides, making the fortress only accessible from the west side. The Emet Çayı flows below the east side of this hill.
