Beyşehir Lake

Embrace the Serenity: Beyşehir Lake, Konya's Mesmerizing Water Gem!

Beyşehir Lake

Lake Beyşehir is Türkiye's largest freshwater lake and is another of the birding paradises located in Türkiye's lake district. Many important bird species make this their home in all seasons, and the 33 islands you'll find in the lake all feature different species and have different feels to them. The sunset views of the lake are particularly famous, as the red of the sun is shaded by flying birds and a stunning natural setting. The islands are also worth visiting for their remains, as 21 of the 33 islands were inhabited by the Seljuk Empire, with remains on most of them. The lake is surrounded by Beyşehir National Park, which helps protect both the natural beauty and the wildlife. The beaches of the lake are 100% natural with local sand, and there are cafés, restaurants, and picnic benches for visitors.
