About
Manavgat is a district in Turkey's Antalya Province, on the country's southern Mediterranean coast. It is a popular stop for visitors to the Antalya area, and it draws people with its waterfall and its coastal setting.
What draws visitors
- The waterfall. Manavgat's waterfall is the district's best-known sight and the reason many travellers make the trip inland from the coast.
- The Mediterranean coast. The district lies along the sea, so a visit can combine time at the water with time spent exploring.
- A tourist-friendly base. As a well-known destination, Manavgat is set up for visitors, which makes it easy to plan a day or a longer stay.
Planning a visit
Manavgat works well as a day trip or as part of a wider stay in Antalya Province. Because the waterfall and the coast sit close together, you can mix a relaxed walk to the falls with an afternoon by the sea. The district's appeal lies mainly in these natural features, so it suits travellers who enjoy outdoor scenery and a easy-going coastal atmosphere.
If you are deciding whether to go, consider how much of your trip you want to spend on nature and sea views. Manavgat offers both in one place, and it fits comfortably into a longer journey through the region.
