Private Transfers to Yukarı Düden Şelalesi
Visiting Upper Düden Waterfalls (Yukarı Düden Şelalesi) offers a tranquil departure from the coastal resorts of Antalya. Located in the Kepez district, this lush parkland surrounds a 20-metre cascade fed by underground streams originating in the Taurus Mountains. Arriving or departing via a dedicated Cealio private transfer ensures your travel between the park entrance and your hotel remains completely relaxed and punctual.
Whether you are arriving directly from Antalya Airport (AYT) or traveling from a resort along the Riviera, a private transfer provides direct door-to-door service without navigation stress or reliance on public transit schedules.
About the Location
Yukarı Düden Şelalesi, situated in the Varsak / Düdenbaşı neighborhood of Kepez, is one of Antalya's most recognized natural attractions. Located approximately 10 to 12 kilometers northeast of central Antalya (Kaleiçi) and about 15 kilometers from Antalya Airport, it serves as a central point of interest for daytime excursions.
The park surrounding the waterfall features shaded paved paths, wooden bridges over running streams, and traditional streamside tea gardens. A notable feature of the site is the natural cave network located behind the cascading water curtain, allowing visitors to walk directly underneath the rock ledge. The site also carries local historical legend, often referenced as Alexander Falls due to historical associations with Alexander the Great.
