Antalya Vacation Guide

Düden Waterfall, Antalya

There are two waterfalls with the same name (Düden) in Antalya. This waterfall pours water from the Düden River, one of the largest rivers in southern Anatolia, into the sea from a natural formation at Karpuzkaldıran.

There are similar waterfalls on the cliffs but this one is the most impressive and attracts a lot of visitors. You can watch the beautiful waterfall from Düden Park nearby. It has an observation terrace that gives a special view of the waterfall. This terrace is not a recreation spot but a large green and pleasant area for visitors.

It also features a cafeteria, a parking lot, and a picnic area. Having breakfast at one of the restaurants located on the top with the view of the waterfall is a famous attraction in Antalya.

There are boat tours departing from near the waterfall. The best seasons for the tour is spring and summer, when you can actually get close to the waterfall with the boat.

The place where the waterfall flows into the sea is an important place for fishermen. It’s the point where the salty water meets with the fresh water and makes it possible to find most of the fish species in the Mediterranean Sea.
