Aşağı Düden Şelalesi

About Aşağı Düden Şelalesi

Aşağı Düden Şelalesi (Lower Düden Waterfall), also called the Karpuzkaldıran waterfall, is where the Düden River pours off the coastal cliffs into the Mediterranean in the Lara area of Muratpaşa, Antalya. The water, carried by the roughly 8 km long Düden stream, drops about 40 metres from the cliffs into the sea. Antalya Metropolitan Municipality notes that the ancient city of Magydos stood in this area. The Düden waterfalls were already admired in antiquity, when they were associated with the Kataraktes, and they appeared as a river god on the city's coins. The waterfall is surrounded by Düden Park, which is open to the public around the clock and free of charge.
