Best seasons: Spring (April–June) for peak water flow, lush vegetation and wildflowers; Autumn (September–November) for pleasant temperatures and good light for photography. Summer is hot but the shaded valley stays relatively cool; winter is quieter and cooler with lower flows.

Mediterranean climate: hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters. Expect cooler, shaded microclimate in the gorge compared with surrounding plains.

Getting there: About 20–25 km from Antalya center and near Antalya Airport — reachable by car, taxi or local bus to Aksu plus short transfer. Parking available near the park entrance. On-site access: Well-maintained boardwalks and steps provide easy walking routes but full wheelchair access is limited in parts (some ramps and flat sections exist). Trails are short and suitable for most fitness levels; bring care on wet surfaces.

Plan for 1–2 hours for a relaxed visit (short walks, photos, coffee). Half-day if combining with a picnic or a longer nature stroll.

Comfortable walking shoes (boardwalks can be slippery when wet), light layers, sun protection (hat, sunscreen) in summer, insect repellent, a light rain jacket in wetter months, and a small water bottle.

Try local Antalya/Çukurova snacks at nearby cafes (gözleme, fresh ayran, grilled fish in the region). Souvenirs commonly include local honey, olive oil products, citrus marmalades and small handcrafted items sold by local vendors.
