Additional Information

Beysehir lake is the third largest lake in Turkey, and as a result of chemical reactions it has formed many islands, which are the remains of cavernous geological structures. The lake was accepted as a first grade natural site area in 1991. Lake Beysehir ,which has the largest freshwater reserves of Turkey,has a rich biological diversity both in the water and in the islands and coasts. The islands provide a home for thousands of water birds which nest there, including swans, cormorants, ducks and divers. Species of trees here include juniper, blackpine, firs, cedar and oak. In addition to the natural beauty of the area, it also has an interesting history as it was governed by Hittites, Friesian, Lydias, Persians and Byzantines. Finally, the Anatolian Seljuks conquered the area, and since then it has been under the reign of the Turks.

Beysehir is 90 km from Konya.

Wonderful day-trip from Konya - The trip to the Beyshehir area was great, and everything went as planned. Communication with the company was fast and smooth. I also appreciated the inclusion of some changes in the program due to the weather conditions (my visit was in winter). There was also enough time for the coffee stops and local lunch. The highlight for me was the Esrefoglu Mosque, which is really beautiful and calm. I also enjoyed the Hittite area of Eflatunpinar Hitit Su Aniti.

Best part of my Konya Trip - We were there this past week. Selene Travel is a smooth runnig service. Mette himesly picked us from Cappidoccha abd then orgnized our visit to Beyeshir lake, He was very mindful of our likes. Day I my wife wanted to attend a zikr and he made it happen. He then got us into a Sema without any charge. He got us Mustapha for the tour who was so knowledgabe. Mette is a wonderful human being communicates well and does things for the group. It is worth every penny.
