The Basics
Situated in the Lara district, Lower Düden Waterfalls is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. The area around the falls features landscaped parks, walking paths, and viewing platforms, making it a pleasant spot for a relaxing outing. The park is free to enter, and facilities include benches, shaded areas, and cafes. Visitors can also enjoy boat tours that provide an up-close perspective of the falls from the sea.
Things to Know Before You Go
Bring a camera to capture the stunning views of the falls and surrounding cliffs. The park is family-friendly, but watch your step near viewing platforms as they can get slippery. Boat tours are an excellent way to experience the falls from below and typically last 30-45 minutes. Lightweight clothing and sunscreen are recommended, especially in the summer.

Lower Düden Waterfalls is about 10 kilometers from Antalya’s city center. Public buses and minibusses (dolmuş) regularly serve the Lara district, stopping near the park entrance. Taxis and ride-sharing services are also convenient options. If driving, there is ample parking available nearby.
When to Get There
The best time to visit is during the morning or late afternoon when the light enhances the natural beauty of the falls. Summer months are the most popular, but the site is accessible year-round, offering a quieter experience in the off-season. Visiting early also ensures cooler temperatures and fewer crowds.
Day Trips from Antalya
A trip to Lower Düden Waterfalls can easily be combined with other attractions in the Lara district, such as Lara Beach or Sandland, the international sand sculpture festival. Many tour packages departing from Antalya city center include stops at both Lower and Upper Düden Waterfalls, offering a comprehensive exploration of the region’s natural beauty.
