Manavgat
Located east of Antalya's city center, Manavgat is the second largest district of Antalya. It is a city well worth visiting, boasting historical and cultural treasures and some of the most beautiful natural areas in Turkey. The Manavgat Waterfall is a popular attraction.
Manavgat enjoys a warm climate with sunshine almost year-round, stunning Mediterranean coastline, fine sandy beaches, exquisite forests and plateaus, and breathtaking views.
The Manavgat Waterfall, considered the district's main tourist attraction, is a waterfall connected to the Manavgat River. Due to its low flow rate, it cascades over a wide area and is one of Turkey's most famous and frequently visited waterfalls, second only to the Duden Waterfalls.
Manavgat, situated on the north-south Mediterranean coast approximately 80 km east of Antalya, is the second largest district of Antalya. Manavgat, first mentioned in historical records in the 6th century, was recorded in Armenian history in 1199 under the name Manavğat.
The historical past of both ancient cities dates back to the 6th century. Although it is said that the name Manavgat, which joined the Seljuks in 1220 and the Ottoman Empire in 1472, originated with the Manav Turks, there is no consensus on the accuracy of this information. Manavgat's Mediterranean coast, bordered to the north by the Taurus Mountains, is dotted with beaches.
There are so many hidden gems that private companies organize tours and offer private transfers to make it convenient for guests and avoid costly, unexpected complications.
