What to see

The Culture Portal gives it a height of about 30 metres, falling in several arms over three steps, with oleaster trees for shade.

Allow about an hour. In winter the falls freeze and ice climbers practise on them (Culture Portal).

Erzincan is a stop on the Eastern Express line, so the falls can fit into a winter rail trip.

Getting there

At Girlevik village, about 30 km from Erzincan city centre; road vehicles run between the city and the falls (Culture Portal).

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.
