BEYŞEHİR LAKE & MADA ISLAND & VALLEY OF STORKS

Starting from the Konyaaltı region at 06.30 in the morning, we meet our guests and set off towards Beyşehir district via Serik Road and the new Konya road. After having a breakfast break, on the way, we first go to Mada Island, a village on Beyşehir Lake, with small fishing boats. When we reach the island, we get on the Patpats (used for transportation on the island) and take a small Patpat safari tour around the village and the island. Our guests who want to swim can swim in the lake's freshwater and the beach. Then we return to the village. After a short break, we return to the mainland. We turn our way to the Storks Valley. We go up to the observation tower to photograph and observe the nests and storks that start arriving in March and leave Beyşehir in August. After Storks Valley, we have a lunch break and free time in Beyşehir. We visit Taşkopru and see Eşrefoğlu Mosque, the largest and original of the wooden pillared mosques in Anatolia. Afterward, we visit the castle gate after İsmail Ağa Madrasa and Bedesten and go to Eflatun Pınarı Hittite Water Monument, which was included in UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage Temporary List as the "Hittite Sacred Water Temple" in 2014. After visiting an important monument with its extensive theological iconography, built in the late period of the Hittite Empire, we start our return journey to Antalya and say goodbye to meet on our next trip.
