Titreyengöl Lake — Visitor Guide 2026
A small lake among pines and hotels east of Side, close to the mouth of the Manavgat River.
Titreyengöl is a small lake in the Sorgun–Titreyengöl hotel area east of Side, 9 km from Side’s ancient city (about 10 minutes by car) and 5 km from Manavgat. The Sorgun beach by the lake is free; the Titreyengöl picnic area (mesire alanı) charges an entrance fee.
The name means “trembling lake”. Titreyengöl lies between Side and the mouth of the Manavgat River, in the Sorgun–Titreyengöl area, where pine woods, beach and large hotels meet.
It is a quiet place for a short walk away from the busy centre of Side, and easy to combine with a beach day or a boat trip on the nearby Manavgat River.
