Lake Beyşehir

Lake Beyşehir fills a broad basin between the mountains of southwestern Anatolia and the Konya plain. Its fresh waters contain many islands, while reeds and wetlands fringe the shore. Fish inhabit the lake, and its islands provide nesting places for cormorants, herons and other water birds. The town of Beyşehir stands near its southeastern end, where the water meets cultivated land and routes through the mountains.
