Manavgat Falls.
Manavgat Waterfall on the Manavgat River is near the city of Side, 3 km (2 mi) north of Manavgat, Turkey. Its high flow over a wide area as it falls from a low height is best viewed from a high altitude.[1]
The white, foaming water of the Manavgat Waterfalls flows powerfully over the rocks. Near the waterfalls are shady tea gardens providing a pleasant resting place.[2]
The Oymapinar Dam is located 12 km (7 mi) to the north of the river.[3]
During floods, the Manavgat Falls may disappear under high water.[4]
Reverse of the 5 lira banknote (1968-1983)The waterfall was depicted on the reverse of the Turkish 5 lira banknotes of 1968-1983.[5]
