Manavgat Waterfall
Manavgat Waterfall on the Manavgat River is near the city of Side, 3 km (2 mi) north of Manavgat, Turkey. Its high flow over a wide area as it falls from a low height is best viewed from a high altitude.
The white, foaming water of the Manavgat Waterfalls flows powerfully over the rocks. Near the waterfalls are shady tea gardens providing a pleasant resting place.
The Oymapinar Dam is located 12 km (7 mi) to the north of the river.
During floods, the Manavgat Falls may disappear under high water.
The waterfall was depicted on the reverse of the Turkish 5 lira banknotes of 1968–1983.
