Waterfalls in any place can tempt a tourist to put it at the top of their visit list. Set amid pine forests, these waterfalls might not be as impressive or majestic as Duden Waterfalls on the beach but its secluded and remote location gives it a unique charm. Located 20 minutes away from Central Antalya, there are plenty of sauntering opportunities, especially alongside Aksu River. Kurşunlu Waterfall Nature Park is about 19 km away from Antalya, Turkey. The waterfall stems from one of the tributaries of the Aksu River, where the tributary slips from Antalya’s plateau to the coastal plain. Alongside river, you would find plenty of spots for picnicking. The park is shaded and complete with walkways, steps, and bridges, accompanying the spectacular view of waterfalls. The greenery is soothing to the eyes. You would be delighted to find lush green vegetation and lime green ponds with clear water. This calm and remote place is almost like a secret getaway. Down by the river, you can see kingfisher, frogs, and lizards. Explorers would be delighted to visit the nearby caves that curve around the back and sides of the falls. During summer, the water level drops. So plan the visit accordingly. If you take a Line 600 bus from Antalya, it would cost you about $8- $10 and take about 29 minutes. Taxi would take around 21 minutes and cost around $12- $14. Entrance fee for adults is around $2.
