Browse all toursWhat to know about Kepez
Kepez lies north of central Antalya and is largely residential. For visitors the draw is the Upper Düden Waterfall, where the Düden river drops over a 20-metre lip.
A path through the cave behind the fall lets you see the water from the back; the park around it is shaded with plane and pine trees and serves as an in-town picnic ground.
The district is also part of the city's transport spine: the intercity bus terminal, the northern end of the tram line and the highways out of Antalya all run through it.
When to go
The waterfall is fullest in spring and drops off by late summer. Thanks to the shade, the park is bearable even on July and August afternoons. Winter is rainy but the fall is at its most dramatic.
Getting there
Ten kilometres from the city centre, 20-30 minutes by tram or municipal bus. Antalya Airport is 18 km east. Upper Düden is reachable by public transport and has ample parking.

Frequently asked questions

Forty-five to sixty minutes covers the park and the cave passage. Most city tours combine it with Kaleiçi and Lower Düden.
