The rock tombs belonging to the ancient city are found on the walls of the passages behind the Yukarı Düden Waterfall. There is an entrance fee for the Upper Düden Waterfall because the Müzekart is not valid.
2-Lower Duden Waterfall

The Lower Düden Waterfall, where the Düden Stream joins the Mediterranean, is located among the high cliffs. You can reach the waterfall, which is not far from the city center, in about 20 minutes. Lower Düden Waterfall is also called Karpuzkaldıran Waterfall. It is also possible to see the waterfall from the opposite side with the boat tours around.
3-Kursunlu Waterfall
It is located on the road to Aksu district of Antalya. There are areas where you can walk around the waterfall located in a canyon. The reason why the waterfall, which flows from a height of 18 meters, is named as leaded, is that it flows down very steeply. This image was likened to lead and the waterfall was given this name. There’s an entrance fee.
4-Manavgat Waterfall
The waterfall formed by the Manavgat Stream is one of the symbols of Antalya. There is a recreation area around the waterfall, which is about 80 km away from the city center. You should see this waterfall, which is visited by tourists every year.
5-Sapadere Waterfall
It is located in Alanya district of Antalya. This name was given to the waterfall because it is located in Sapadere canyon.

6-Değirmendere Waterfall
Located in the town of Manavgat, the waterfall is approximately 105 km from the city center. Değirmendere Waterfall is also called Hidden Paradise Waterfall.

You can also come across ducks and peacocks as you wander around. There is no entrance fee to Değirmendere Waterfall.
7- Uçansu Waterfall

The most striking structure in Yukarı Uçansu Waterfall is the King’s Pool. It is the least visited of the waterfalls we have mentioned so far.
