It's a beautiful place, but there are a lot of people. There is food, coffee, entertainment inside. The territory is small, but well maintained.
The price of the issue is 30 liras (October 2024).
You can get from the center of Manavgat by minibus, which will say "Waterfall /waterfall /wasserfall" (there is no route number) - for about 60 lira for two.
4 stars only for the fact that Manavgat is not rich with sights. The waterfall is small, in the form of a horseshoe (the same plan in Sablino, in the Leningrad region, only there the color of the water is not blue). Entrance is paid. The area near the waterfall is improved - there are cafes, souvenir shops and a playground. In general, entertainment for 10 minutes. We went there specifically for the waterfall, because we got bored at our hotel, perhaps that's why we were a little disappointed. If this is part of some kind of big tour, then ok.
Not a waterfall, but just a waterfall. The Tosnensky waterfall near St. Petersburg is almost the same height and 2-3 times wider. We were brought there as part of a sightseeing tour, but if we go specifically to the waterfall, then the entrance to the territory is paid (I was not interested in the price). In general, if you don't see it, you won't lose much.
It is better to go to the opposite side. The road is good, plus you can cross over the rocks almost to the very center of the waterfall. The stones offer a great view not only of the waterfall, but also of the food workers who pay for entry to the improved territory. If you get to the opposite side, do not be lazy to get to the upper reservoir, from which the river flows.
It's a great place. An organized embankment is located to the right along the river. On the left, it's free. The water is fantastically clean. You can swim in fresh water - who is tired of the sea.
It's a dirty place, the entrance is 150 lire, but for what I still did not understand, the waterfall is small and not wow, young Turks on mopeds are approaching from the other side of the river, apparently to wash their feet, not such a place
I really love the Side region because of the Manavgat River! She's really green! This is amazing!!! Actually, when I first found myself on the river embankment in the city, I forgot that I was in Turkey. Europe in its purest form. And the waterfall is very modest, but this does not make it less beautiful.

Manavgat Waterfall (Manavgat Selalesi) on the river of the same name, 4.4 km from the city of Manavgat and 8 km from the ancient, well-groomed, beautiful resort town of Side, located in Antalya province. Its width is 40 meters and its height is no more than 2 meters. In fact, this is not really a waterfall, but a stream of mountain waters falling from a large river threshold. But this fact does not detract from the beauty of the landscape. The waterfall was depicted on the reverse side of the 5 lira banknote, issued from 1968 to 1983.
IN ANY CASE, DO NOT DRIVE HERE for an hour or two, we went to the city of Side, then we went to look at the waterfall, the entrance to the "park" is paid, there are just an unrealistic number of people, it is very dirty, the prices are cosmic for water and so on, and a parrot almost in the face to take a photo for 5k, the waterfall is pretty, if you have never seen it, then you can go in, but there is no point, spend a maximum of 1 minute and go to another place
Manavgat Waterfall is a popular place, entrance is paid. We arrived by car, stayed for 10 minutes, took pictures (the photos turned out to be beautiful, since it was evening, sunset) and actually drove back. The guide at the hotel advertised this tour very much, like eating a fish with a good view. The view is good, but you can't spend half a day here. The territory is fenced, there are many cafes, food outlets, souvenirs. I wouldn't have come here a second time. In Antalya there is a more sympathetic place as for me - the Upper Dyudensky Waterfall, there is also a larger territory and a more interesting waterfall.
On the advice in one of the reviews below, we went to the other side, yes, the entrance is free, but too far away, there is no passage closer, there is a grid gate with a lock, we were a little upset, we had to pay $ 6 each, but probably go to the observation deck... After all, it's much closer there.
A dubious pleasure, an ordinary waterfall with a paid entrance and, as is customary in Turkey, a large area is occupied by shops selling Chinese goods.
It's beautiful, there were 2 times) there is a place to eat on the territory. Entrance 3evro)) We went on an excursion last year. In this by yourself by car.

Of course it's not Niagara, but it's very nice to stand next to it and look at the water. It is quite unusual, well equipped.
The waterfall is big and beautiful in spring, it dries up in summer, you have to wait for the rainy season. Entrance is paid, but everything is exactly dirty on the territory, they are poorly cleaned((😭
A park that looks like a natural wonder in the photos, but in the part outside the frame, people are trying to swim, throwing garbage, a fee is charged at the entrance, despite the fact that it is forbidden
A small park with high prices. We went by minibus ourselves. Well, this is..... just for once. It will be much more expensive to take a tour from the hotel.
