Listen, if you came to Antalya for the beaches and the blue water, congrats, you and every other…read moresun-chasing tourist with an Instagram filter. But Antalya has more, a dramatic waterfall so we got mountains, the beach & a waterfall. I think I'm gonna become a resident. First of all, imagine a waterfall so extra it doesn't just fall into a river like a normal, emotionally stable waterfall. No. Duden dumps itself off a cliff straight into the Mediterranean like it's quitting a job it hated. So take that.

Düden Şelalesi or Düden Waterfalls are two waterfalls sprouting of the Düden River in Antalya. This…read morereview is for the lower Düden falls. Lower and Upper Düden; very different views... Apparently the falls are surrounded with a bit of history as well. As with almost every place in Turkey Düden Şelalesi was crowded with both local and visiting tourists. While I didn't think the waterfalls were spectacular or breathtaking, I thought it was worth the visit. The scenery was lovely, I just wish it wasn't so hot when we went. Also a heads up...the path down the stairs on the right side after entrance can be a bit arduous and challenging for families with elders and extremely young ones.

Termessos is one of the best preserved of the ancient Greek cities in Anatolia, modern day Turkey…read more The ancient city was founded by the Solims who lived in the Psidia Region...Little is known of this city except for a few mentions during Alexander the Great's conquest...and he couldn't conquer it...the boy left shaking his head calling it the Eagle's nest. Okay, I'm a bit of a history buff and I get all giddy as a school child when I embark on adventures to discover ancient ruins. This place is epic and has simply survived through the centuries of natural destruction and vandalism. It's probably more preserved than any other ancient Greek ruins in Greece. A must visit. The necropolis is eerie and exudes a strange but spiritual Aura. You can enjoy the view from the top or from the edge of the Amphitheatre. It's worth the visit if you're ever in Turkey. Best of all it's only a few kilometers from the beautiful coastal city of Antalya.
