Upper and Lower Duden Waterfalls + Kurshunlu Waterfall
Antalya Waterfalls Tour
1) Upper Duden Waterfall
2) Kursunlu Waterfall
3) Karpuz Kaldiran waterfall (lower duden)
Upper Duden
The waterfall originates from the Duden River, which is formed by the confluence of two underground streams and emerges in some places. These places are the Upper and Lower Duden Falls.
Lower Düden is located on the Mediterranean coast, 15–17 km from Upper Düden. It also has observation decks and rest areas. However, it can also be approached from below by boat, making it more popular with tourists than the Upper Düden. The water thunders from Lower Düden directly into the Mediterranean Sea, and in the evening, the falls are beautifully illuminated.
Lower Duden
The Lower Düden Waterfall is also known as Karpuzkaldıran (Turkish for "jumping watermelon"). It is a large cascading waterfall, approximately 50 meters high, cascading directly into the Mediterranean Sea. The most beautiful view is from the sea, especially in the evening when it is beautifully illuminated. Special boat tours with a stop at the Lower Düden Waterfall are available in Antalya.
Kurshunlu Waterfall
Scientists, relying on geological data, believe the waterfall arose quite a long time ago – in the 2nd or 3rd century. It was formed as a result of a long process of karst deposits forming in the local rocks. As a result, a tributary of the Aksu, a small mountain river, was divided into several branches, which, falling from low elevations, formed a transparent waterfall. Its name can be translated into Russian as "lead." But it isn't always this way. The color changes noticeably at different times of the year. The waterfall becomes a bright emerald green in sunny spring or summer weather. When the sky is cloudy, it takes on a leaden gray hue. During heavy rain, the torrents of water become especially turbulent. In dry weather, the cascade turns into several babbling streams.
