Golcuk Attractions

This small, peaceful town, Torrhebia in antiquity, (1,030m/3,378ft) on the northern bank of Lake Gölcük is a typical summer village for the more prosperous town-dwellers and farmers from the lowlands and makes a good starting point for walks in the mountains or to the remains of ancient Hypaepa near Datbey lower down towards the southwest. Most of the lavish summer villas are clustered around the west and north banks of the lake (rowing boats) inside a ring of magnificent pine forests. The lake was created by a landslide which blocked off the valley to the north.
