Dim Çayı

About Dim Çayı

Dim Çayı is a stream that rises in the foothills of the Taurus mountains and runs for about 60 km before reaching the Mediterranean on the border of the Tosmur and Kestel neighbourhoods, south of Alanya. The valley it has carved, with water and air that stay cool whatever the season, is about 15 km from Alanya town centre. Many restaurants, cafes and tea gardens line the road that follows the stream north from the coast. They serve visitors with menus built around trout raised in pools, swimming in the cold water of the stream, fishing, and gazebos built on the slopes of the valley. Further up the valley, the Dim Dam and its reservoir offer other outdoor activities.
