Waterfalls in Antalya: The Complete 2026 Guide & Prices
Table of Contents
Antalya is famous for its turquoise coast, but its stunning waterfalls are the region’s hidden gems. Flowing from the majestic Taurus Mountains, these natural wonders offer a refreshing escape from the summer heat. While adventurous travelers might head out for paragliding in Turkey, visiting these cascades offers a more serene, yet equally breathtaking experience.
Each waterfall has a unique character, from hidden caves to dramatic drops into the Mediterranean Sea. Below is your updated guide for 2025, including current entrance fees and tips.
Top 3 Waterfalls in Antalya
Duden Waterfalls (Upper & Lower)
Duden Waterfalls, or “Düden Şelalesi,” is actually split into two distinct locations, offering two very different experiences. It is arguably the most famous waterfall system in Antalya.
Upper Duden: Located in a lush nature park, this waterfall features a mysterious cave you can walk into to see the water cascading from behind. As of late 2025, the entrance fee is approximately 40–50 TL. Note that the Museum Pass Turkey is NOT valid here, so be sure to carry cash or a card.
Lower Duden: This spectacular fall drops 40 meters directly into the Mediterranean Sea. It is located in Duden Park and is free to visit. The view is mesmerizing, similar to the awe you might feel seeing the Bosphorus from a yacht in Istanbul, but here it is pure raw nature.
Kursunlu Waterfalls
Kursunlu Waterfalls (“Kurşunlu Şelalesi“) offers a quieter, more intimate atmosphere compared to Duden. Located about 20 km northeast of Antalya, the entrance fee is currently around 75 TL.
Set within a protected nature park, it feels like a hidden sanctuary. The main waterfall flows into the Aksu River, surrounded by a rich variety of trees like willow, fig, and wild olive. It is a fantastic spot for a light walk, think of it as a relaxing, miniature version of hiking the Lycian Way. Many locals enjoy picnicking here, often buying groceries beforehand to enjoy a meal in the shade.
Manavgat Waterfall
Manavgat Waterfall is famous not for its height, but for its width and powerful flow. It is located just 3 km from the town of Manavgat (about 80 km from Antalya). The entrance fee in 2025 is approximately 50 TL.
The area is surrounded by lovely tea gardens where you can relax on the riverbanks. It’s the perfect place to sip traditional Turkish tea and enjoy a breakfast spread featuring various types of Turkish cheese while listening to the roaring water.
