Its story

Manavgat Dam was built on the Manavgat River between 1986 and 1987 for electricity generation. The earth-fill dam is 29 meters high; at normal water level it forms a lake of about 8.6 km². The 48 MW power plant generates about 220 GWh of electricity a year. The lake, in the valley between Oymapınar Dam and Manavgat Waterfall, is striking for its green-turquoise water, also known from boat tours.
