Lake Suğla (Turkish: Suğla Gölü; anciently Trogitis, Ancient Greek: Τρωγῖτις)[1] is a large lake in Konya Province, in the southwestern part of Turkey. It has an area of 25–80 km2. The water level in the lake fluctuates. Lake Suğla is also an important wetland site for birds. In Graeco-Roman antiquity it was considered part of ancient Lycaonia.[2]
