What is Derbent like?

Derbent is a quiet settlement on the Kocaeli side of Sapanca Lake. Its lakeside walking areas, reed beds and sunset views are what set it apart. The neighbourhood has hotels near the water, bungalows and villas with gardens, and restaurants and cafes that look out over the lake. Because it stands on flat ground, it is easy to reach for visitors who would rather not drive up a mountain road in winter. Maşukiye and the Kartepe ski centre can be visited by car on a day trip.

Tips before you visit

  • If a lake view matters to you, confirm that the room or bungalow actually faces the lake
  • Sapanca Lake is a source of drinking water, so find out the local rules on entering the water
  • There can be mosquitoes by the lake in the evening, so bring repellent
  • Book early for summer weekends
