Beyşehir

Beyşehir combines the quiet rhythm of a lakeside town with a substantial Seljuk-era legacy in a way that reflects its position on the southeastern shore of Lake Beyşehir. Turkey’s largest freshwater lake gives the district an open horizon, with farmland, reed beds and islands set below the Taurus Mountains. In the centre, the Eşrefoğlu Mosque, completed in 1299 for the Eşrefoğlu beylik, is noted for its timber columns and painted wooden ceiling; it is part of UNESCO’s Wooden Hypostyle Mosques of Medieval Anatolia.
