Discover Beyşehir: Book Your Beyşehir Tour from Konya City Center

If you’re planning an event or nature-focused stay from Konya, a short 90 km trip brings you to the striking Beysehir destination centered on Beysehir Lake, Turkey’s third-largest lake and home to Turkey’s largest freshwater reserves; here you can base workshops, family outings, or wellness retreats amid a landscape of islands formed by ancient geological chemistry and remnants of cavernous structures. You’ll find rich biological diversity both in the water and along the islands and coasts, where thousands of nesting water birds-swans, cormorants, ducks and divers-share space with stands of juniper, black pine, fir, cedar and oak, making it ideal for wildlife-focused tours and Water-Based activities. The area’s layered history, governed in turn by the Hittites, Friesian, Lydias, Persians and Byzantines before coming under the Anatolian Seljuks and later Turkish rule, adds cultural depth to sightseeing and Art & Culture Events, so you can combine outdoor nature and heritage experiences when you book through Varoom from Konya city center.

Summary: 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.
