Düden Waterfalls,Turkey

Spring (March–May) for lush surroundings and stronger flows; early summer (June) for warm weather with manageable crowds; sunset visits offer dramatic sea-cliff colors at the Lower Düden.

Mediterranean climate: hot, dry summers (June–August) and mild, wetter winters (December–February). Expect cool, refreshing spray near the falls even on hot days.

Upper Düden is easily reachable by car or local bus from central Antalya (approximately 10–15 minutes inland). The Lower Düden sea-cliff area is accessible via coastal roads and walking promenades; boat tours operate from Antalya marinas and require booking in peak season. Some viewing platforms involve steps—accessibility for wheelchairs/limited mobility may be partial; check specific routes in advance.

Allow 1–3 hours to visit both Upper and Lower Düden if traveling from central Antalya; a half-day if combining boat trips and relaxed park time.

Comfortable walking shoes, sun protection (hat, sunscreen) in summer, light rain jacket in spring/winter; waterproof camera protection if you want close-up photos near the spray.

Try nearby Antalya regional specialties such as gözleme, fresh seafood at coastal cafés near the Lower Düden, and Turkish tea/coffee in park cafés. Souvenirs available in Antalya city markets and seaside stalls include local textiles, spices, and handcrafted items.
