  • Kırkgöz Lake transforms into a sea of water lilies

Kırkgöz Lake, a natural water source in Antalya’s Döşemealtı district, transforms into a sea of water lilies during spring and summer. Starting to bloom at the end of May, the lilies also known as lotus flowers reach peak maturity by mid-August, creating a stunning natural spectacle.

The lake, designated as a natural protected area, boasts a rich ecosystem. Visitors can spot various bird species and freshwater turtles around its shores. Fed by underground water flowing from the Taurus Mountains, Kırkgöz Lake not only supports biodiversity but also contributes to local tourism with its seasonal floral display.
