What to see

The falls are broad rather than high: the river drops a few metres in a long white curtain, and walkways and terraces run along the bank. Cafés and souvenir stalls fill the area around them.

Half an hour to an hour is enough; it is often combined with a boat trip on the Manavgat river or a visit to Side.

The flow is strongest in spring. In high summer the site is busy with tour groups in the middle of the day.

Getting there

About 4 km north of Manavgat town and 12 km from Side; dolmuş minibuses run from Manavgat.

Transport lines are general directions, not checked against the operator's timetable.

Hotels and guesthouses in Manavgat ↗

How we rank: Nearby Ministry-licensed places first (matched to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism list), then other places by distance band (within 5 km, 15 km, 40 km; straight line) and public map ratings and review counts. A licensed place never jumps ahead of a closer band. Places more than 25 km away in another town are shown only when there are few options nearby. No business pays to be listed. A high score from a handful of reviews counts for less than a slightly lower score from hundreds. Ratings and counts come from ilçemde's data (source shown on each card, checked 1 Oct 2026); read the reviews themselves on the map services.

Accommodation lists open on ilçemde, our sister directory of Turkish businesses (new tab). We do not take bookings or commissions.
