Plan the journey from your part of Antalya. These guides compare the Upper and Lower Duden routes, transport choices and the return trip.
Sample road distances by starting point
These OSRM driving estimates were calculated on 6 September 2026 between representative public map locations in OpenStreetMap. The origins are Hadrian’s Gate for Kaleiçi, the mapped Lara Beach, and selected locality points in Belek and Side. They are not hotel-door distances or bus routes. Live traffic, waiting, parking and walking to the entrance are excluded; calculate a fresh route from your actual accommodation.
| Sample origin | Upper Düden | Lower Düden |
|---|---|---|
| Hadrian’s Gate, Kaleiçi | 10.3 km | 9.5 km |
| Mapped Lara Beach | 25.1 km | 6.5 km |
| Representative Belek point | 40.9 km | 27.7 km |
| Representative Side point | 74.6 km | 74.9 km |
Two separate destinations from central Antalya
Enter the full waterfall name when leaving Kaleiçi. Upper Düden is at Düdenbaşı neighbourhood, 21. Cadde, Kepez; Lower Düden is on the Çağlayan–Lara coast. If visiting both, the sample driving route between the waterfalls is about 18.2 km. This additional leg is not a live-traffic estimate or a journey-time promise.
Current bus routes and stops with Antalyakart
Use Antalyakart’s “Hatlar ve Duraklar” routes and stops service to check your start, arrival stop and return journey. Route numbers and timetables in older travel articles may have changed. Allow for transfers and the walk from the stop to the entrance. Transport-card use at the park is a separate matter; do not assume attraction admission, bus travel and concessions share one tariff.
Travelling from Lara, Belek and Side
Lara and Kundu form a broad hotel area; the Lara Beach example does not represent every hotel. From Belek and Side, add the outward and return journeys to your time at the falls. When comparing an organised transfer with driving, check hotel collection, number of stops, food and return time. A short single-stop visit and a full-day tour require different schedules.
Taxis, driving and arrival at the entrance
Confirm taxi pricing and how the fare is calculated before travelling. When driving, check parking and the pedestrian entrance separately; a route may end at the nearest drivable road. Before leaving for Upper Düden, ask ANSET about last entry and cave access. Antalya Ulaşım’s 14 August 2026 announcement confirms Antalyakart payment at Upper Düden’s turnstiles; the current amount and other payment options need a separate check.
Frequently asked questions
Which address should I use for Duden Waterfall?
Use “Yukarı Düden Şelalesi, Kepez” for the cave and “Aşağı Düden Şelalesi, Çağlayan, Antalya” for the waterfall into the sea. They are separate locations.
Do the listed distances start at my hotel?
No. They are sample driving routes from Hadrian’s Gate, Lara Beach and selected Belek and Side map points. Calculate a fresh route from your hotel; live traffic and parking time are not included.
Where can I find the current bus route to Duden?
Use Antalyakart’s official routes and stops search. Check the specific waterfall, arrival stop, transfers and return service together.
Notes to take with you
- Check the full waterfall name and district
