Upper Düden, within the borders of Kepez district, was called “Alexander Waterfall” in history. The reason for this is shown as Alexander the Great resting his horses during his conquest of the region and meeting their water needs here.

The names of the waterfalls come from the Düden Stream. The Düden Stream, on the other hand, divides into 2 branches and flows. Upper Düden Waterfall formed in the upper part and Lower Düden, also known as Karpuzkaldıran Waterfall, flows below.

Here, when you get out of your vehicle, the lush landscape of Düden Park welcomes you. When you walk towards the cliffs, you hear the sound of Lower Düden. Düden Stream pours down from the 40-meter-high cliffs here and meets the sea. The water that reaches the Mediterranean creates an exquisite view as it flows. This enchanting view is one of the must-see places in Antalya.
