What to see

The Culture Portal counts 28 falls, large and small, in a valley about 2 km long, and suggests a two-hour walk along them through the beech forest.

Allow two to three hours for the walk and a rest. The path is wet and slippery in places; wear proper shoes.

We found no published figures for its seasonal flow. Combine with Sinop town and its old prison, about 30 km away.

Getting there

At Tatlıca village in Erfelek district, south-west of Sinop; by car.

Where to stay nearby

ilçemde has no hotel page for Erfelek yet; look in the nearest town.

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.
