The Düden Waterfalls are two waterfalls of the Düden River in the province of Antalya, Turkey.
Upper Düden Waterfall
At the Upper Düden Waterfall (36°57′49.7″N 30°43′36.1″E / 36.963806°N 30.726694°E), the water of the Düden River reappears from a karstic source after having disappeared 18 kilometres (11 mi) away at Bıyıklı Sinkhole. Water coming through a canal from Kepez 1 Hydroelectric Power Plant forms the waterfall, which drops into the basin of the source.
The source and waterfall are surrounded by a park. The site is fenced in and can only be accessed at the opening hours and by paying a fee. The opening hours are 08:00–19:00 from April to October and 08:00–18:00 from November to March. As of 2025, the fee is 70 TL (around 1.90 €) per adult.[1] The entrance to the park with the waterfalls is located at 21. Cd. road in Şelale Mahallesi.[2] [3]
