Hotels near Manavgat Waterfalls

Manavgat Waterfalls drop 2 metres across a 40-metre-wide basalt shelf where the Manavgat River carves through the Taurus foothills before flowing out to the Mediterranean. The cascade is wide rather than tall, and the surrounding park has shaded walkways, a small lake, and several teahouses serving traditional Turkish breakfast (TRY 250 in 2026). Entry costs TRY 50 to the riverside park, open 08:00 to 19:00. The water is too fast for swimming at the falls themselves, but families spread out along the riverbank below the cascade and float on inflatables. Restaurants on stilt platforms above the river serve grilled river trout (alabalik) at TRY 350 with rice. The site is fully wheelchair accessible from the upper car park, and a small children's playground sits beside the main viewpoint. Most travellers spend 90 minutes here.

Pro Tip: Combine the falls with a Manavgat River boat trip from Side harbour. The boats stop here for an hour before turning around, saving a separate dolmus journey.
