Manavgat waterfall, Manavgat, Antalya, Turkey 

Manavgat Waterfall is 80 km to Antalya, sourced out of the slopes of Mount Seytan, which is the eastern part of Taurus Mountains, is in between the lakes of Seydisehir and Beysehir.

Manavgat Stream’s water was canalized to antique cities of Seleucid and Side by water bends in ancient times. It runs through mountains, forests and a canyon like narrow valley and after forming an artificial lake on 500 hectares of land, which is the water reservoir of Oymapinar Dam, keeps on running through a plain and creates a waterfall in the 4 km north of Manavgat town center. Though it falls from a quite lower height it creates scenery worth for seeing while falling with a roaring sound into a wide land.

Dumanli clastic spring, which is the biggest among the sources feed Manavgat Stream is inside the small caves on a sharp rock on the left bank. It rises 15 m high bubbling in soggy clouds and flow to the stream.
