The Upper Düden Waterfalls (Yukarı Düden Şelalesi) sit in a wooded park about 10 km northeast of the city centre. The Düden River drops roughly 15 metres over a broad ledge, and a cave behind the waterfall lets you walk directly beneath the curtain of water. The park surrounding the falls is green and shaded, with picnic tables, tea gardens, and a network of paths along the river - a refreshing break from Antalya's urban heat.
Entry to the park is free. The falls are most impressive in spring (March to May) when snowmelt from the Taurus Mountains swells the river. By late summer the flow can thin considerably. City bus VN66 runs from the city centre (about 30 minutes), or a taxi costs TRY 150-200 (EUR 4-6). The cave path behind the waterfall can be slippery - wear shoes with grip and expect to get splashed.
Pro Tip: Combine the Upper Düden Waterfalls with a visit to the Lower Düden Waterfalls the same day. The two are 14 km apart by road, and seeing both gives you the full arc of the river - from forested gorge to dramatic sea cliff.
