The Düden Waterfalls, an icon of Antalya, are an impressive natural wonder with both the upper (Karpuzkaldıran) fall and the lower fall plunging into the sea. They are easily seen on a day trip by car from Alanya.

Getting there from Alanya

About 120 km from Alanya to central Antalya, 1.5–2 hours via the D-400 coastal road. The falls are at different points in the city; combining with an Antalya city visit makes sense.

Upper and lower Düden

The upper Düden is known for walking trails and the cave behind the fall. The lower Düden (Karpuzkaldıran) plunges from cliffs into the sea — a magnificent photo spot.

Tip and car

For the long drive choose an air-conditioned, comfortable car and start early. Car parks are at the entrances. Pay on pickup, no credit card needed.
