Manavgat Waterfall

Description

The Manavgat Waterfall is a popular attraction amongst many tourists to Side. It is located along the Manavgat River which winds across Turkey's eastern slopes for around 90 kilometres before it meets the waterfall. The Manavgat Waterfall is located close to Side, a couple of kilometres north of the district of Manavgat. The rapid water crashing downwards forms a spectacular sight of a white foam layer over the river. The scenic beauty of the area gives rise to ample photography opportunities and will be paradise to both nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. A shady tea garden area is also located in the vicinity of the Manavgat Waterfall, offering tourists a quiet place to rest and relax. Interestingly, the waterfall was also depicted on the Turkish 5 lira banknotes during the late 1900s.
