The Lower Düden Waterfalls (Aşağı Düden Şelalesi) are arguably Antalya's most dramatic natural sight. Here the Düden River plunges 40 metres directly off a cliff face into the Mediterranean Sea - one of the few places in the world where a waterfall empties straight into the ocean. The viewing platform at the top of the cliff offers a dizzying perspective straight down, while boat tours from the old harbour let you see the falls from the sea.
The park around the falls is free to enter and has cafes, benches, and paths along the cliff edge. The falls are located in the Lara district, about 12 km east of the city centre. City bus KL08 runs there from the centre (40 minutes), or take a taxi for TRY 200-250 (EUR 5.50-7). For the boat view, tours depart from the old harbour in Kaleiçi (TRY 250-400 / EUR 7-11, 2 hours) and cruise east along the coast to the falls before returning.
Pro Tip: The boat trip is the better way to experience these falls. From the sea, the full height of the cascade is visible and the spray catches rainbow light on sunny afternoons. Sit on the right side of the boat heading east for the best view.
