Antalya Duden Waterfalls - Duden Selalesi
The Upper Düden Waterfalls,are located 14 km northeast from
the centre of Antalya. The waterfalls, formed by a karstic depression, are 20 metres high.
The location of the waterfalls has the appearance of a botanical heaven thanks to the rich
variety of plants. In the deep valley formed by the falling and flowing water of the waterfalls
there are promenades and trout restaurants
By entering into Dilek Magarasi (Cave of Wishes), located underneath the waterfalls, it
is possible to walk behind the rushing cascade or sit and admire the might and splendour of
the waterfalls from inside the catacombs.
This is also a favourite family picnic area of Antalya, which draws hundreds of people everyday
for the ultimate picnic experience.
After 8km the water from the falls forms a small creek, creating a magnificent spectacle as
it cascades over the 40 metre high falez rock into the sea, as Lower Düden Waterfalls on the
way from Antalya to Lara Beach. The nearby rest area, with restaurants and picnic areas,
offers an excellent view of the sea and waterfalls. The view is even more spectacular from
the sea. Touristic boat tours are organised to the waterfalls from Kaleiçi Marina.
