Begshehr

Beg-shehr, or Bei-shehr, a lake, river, and town in the province of Karamania, Asiatic Turkey. The lake is about 20 miles long, by 5 to 10 miles broad, and was known to the ancients as Lake Coralis.

The town on the right bank of the river and near its exit has the remains of some handsome buildings, including a large mosque, but is lapsing into decay.
