Düden Waterfalls

About Düden Waterfalls

Düden Waterfalls — group of waterfalls in the province of Antalya, Turkey. Located in Antalya, Turkey.

The Duden Waterfalls are a group of falls on the Duden River in Antalya province, among the city's most famous and most visited natural sights. There are two: the Upper Duden Falls, about 12 kilometres north-east of central Antalya, and the Lower Duden Falls, where the river ends by plunging off a rocky cliff straight into the Mediterranean. The upper falls sit in a shady green park with paths, benches and small restaurants, and a natural cave behind the curtain of water lets you see the fall from inside. The lower falls are viewed in the Lara district from a clifftop park where the water drops some 40 metres into the sea, a majestic sight, and boat trips from the old harbour show them from the water. The river rises in the Kirkgoz area and part of its course disappears underground before resurfacing, which gives the falls their name: duden is Turkish for a sinkhole or underground channel. Both sites are among the best places for a quiet family outing away from the beach.
