The story of the Lower Düden Waterfall

The Düden river runs underground for part of its course and then crosses the plain of Antalya, before plunging about 40 metres over limestone cliffs into the sea at Lara.

A seafront park with walkways and viewing terraces surrounds the falls. From the water, the view of the white cascade dropping into the blue sea is one of Antalya's signature images.
