Uçarsu Şelalesi

About Uçarsu Şelalesi

Uçarsu Şelalesi is a waterfall on the Gömbe plateau in Kaş. It springs from Akdağ, the highest point of the western Taurus mountains, gushing out at an altitude of about 1800 metres on the 3024-metre mountain. Its name, meaning flying water, comes from the white, cloud-like look of the water as it flies from rocks about 50 metres high, with a cave underneath. Because the surrounding land is bare, the waterfall can be seen clearly from a distance. Its water runs down a valley about 4.5 km long to the Çayboğazı Dam on the Gömbe plain, and the flow changes through the year depending on snowmelt from the summit of Akdağ.
