Değirmendere Şelalesi (Gizli Cennet)

It was worth it for me to stretch my way

After deviating from the junction near Manavgat Kızılot, we reach this mini waterfall and restaurant after a 10 km asphalt clean road. First of all, it is better not to come with great expectations, but you can even come to have a good time, eat in the waterfall view and be in nature. The peacock in the restaurant is also very photogenic and can offer you beautiful snaps from time to time, the restaurant prices are not too expensive, but still a teak higher than the center, it can be difficult to find a place due to the tourist groups in summer, the prices are in the range of 30-40 TL for the main meal. .

You drive towards the Taurus Mountains for about 20 minutes from the Antalya-Alanya road. It can be visited if you have time. Don't expect anything like Manavgat or Düden waterfall, it's a small waterfall.

I regret that I went all the way, it wasn't worth it. If you are expecting a waterfall or something, you will be disappointed. Very little water flows. Even water is not allowed with you when you go up.

It's a place we saw and discovered on the internet. This place is affiliated with a business, you can eat and drink something if you want. However, you don't have to sit down, you can walk around the waterfall for free. There are 2 small waterfalls, one right in front of the business, the other when you go up the stairs and walk a little further. It is supposed to be entering the water here, but the color of the water is very blurry (I think it is because of the minerals in it) and a lot of black tiny insects are swimming. It has a beautiful nature, go see it if you have time. The only problem I think is parking. There was not enough parking space.

Do not follow Google maps and go from Konya-manavgat road just because it is close to the road like us :) You had to take the Uzunlar Village road. Thank God the bottom of our car was high, we found a dirt road, it was dry in the creek, we were able to cross. After that, it is a single lane asphalt village road. When you come to the turn of the waterfall, there is a 1 km dirt road descent to the waterfall. The dirt road is neither good nor bad. If you drive carefully, it won't be a problem. As for the waterfall. Although it was the end of October, not summer, little water was flowing. Despite this, I liked this waterfall, which looks like a small oasis in the forest, taking on the air of a small valley by forming puddles and small ponds in the form of levees. I also think that the water is flowing smoothly, it would be a very beautiful sight. Most likely, the wooden stairs made by the facility next to the waterfall are very compatible with the waterfall, they do not even grin at all, and even address the frames of photography enthusiasts ;) Thanks to the stairs, you can reach the top. They have also placed landscape viewing corners on each set of the waterfall. It is very pleasant and peaceful to watch the scenery from here. If you are a nature lover and your path is close to here, I recommend you to deviate from your path for a tea break ;)

It is a beautiful place that I know from the pictures and videos I saw on the internet. I came here for the first time, although the flow of the water is a bit low, it is a very nice place in terms of atmosphere. It is not a place that is tied to a business but the business is not necessarily concerned about selling something. Since we bought barbecue materials, we did not eat the food here, but the prices were very affordable, I took a picture of it. There are two medium-sized waterfalls, and you can swim in the above one, which is nice. There is also a place above the second waterfall, but unfortunately I could not go out because of the water. I'll be out next time for sure. A quiet, calm place to rest your head. Nature interwined. If your path falls on these sides, I say stop by. I will post detailed images on my YouTube "Discover Discovery" channel. Stay tuned :)

Since it was raining at night when we went, the water was flowing like mud as you can see in the pictures, so we cannot say that we enjoyed it very much. It's not worth going all the way because it's in business, it's not a place you can spend a lot of time ??‍♀️
