Techirghiol, in full
Techirghiol is the salt lake beside Eforie, landlocked by the shore, with mud used for baths for a century. The name is Turkish: "tekir" (trout / spotted) and "göl" (lake).
Treatments follow clinic schedules. We do not publish hours we have not verified. The lake can be seen from public banks.
Siutghiol to the north is another lake, with fresher water, separated from Mamaia. Techirghiol is the salty one, for mud.
