Antalya has two Düden Waterfalls:

Upper Düden Waterfalls This is a small park attraction with an entrance fee of 70 TL. It takes about 30 minutes to explore. It’s accessible by public bus from the old town. Lower Düden Waterfalls (Karpuzkaldıran Cross Park) This one is free to visit, where the freshwater river dramatically flows into the sea, rushing endlessly and powerfully.

After visiting the upper waterfall, we took another hour-long bus ride to see the coastal Lower Düden Waterfalls. (See transport plan P13–P14)
