Visit Upper Düden in Kepez, Antalya, for the cave behind the water. The park has paid entry and officially announced Antalyakart payment at its turnstiles. Confirm the current price, hours and cave access with ANSET, the operator.
Upper Duden address and map destination
Search for “Yukarı Düden Şelalesi, Kepez”. The Ministry’s Culture Portal lists Düdenbaşı neighbourhood, 21. Cadde, Kepez; İskender Şelalesi and Düdenbaşı are alternative names. A search for Düden Park or Karpuzkaldıran may show coastal Lower Düden. These are separate stops, not two entrances to one park.
The park and cave walk
Allow around 1–2 hours for a relaxed park and cave visit, with extra time for travel. Photographs, lunch and breaks with children can take longer; this is our planning suggestion, not an operator-defined limit. ANSET describes a cave behind the waterfall with different views through its openings. Ask which passages are open on the day before starting the walk.
Antalyakart entry and current admission
Antalya Ulaşım’s official announcement of 14 August 2026 confirms that visitors can pay the admission fee by tapping Antalyakart at the new Upper Düden turnstiles. It does not specify the amount, concessions or other payment methods, and does not say Antalyakart is the only option. Our 6 September 2026 check did not verify a current official tariff. Ask ANSET about adult and child prices, concession documents and your intended payment method.
Confirm hours and cave access with ANSET
Use ANSET’s official contact page or its general email, [email protected], to ask about your visit date, opening, last admission, closing and cave access. This guide is not the ticket office. ANSET’s office at AKM is not the waterfall entrance. We have not verified a current operating-hours notice, so plan around the operator’s reply and leave time for the return journey.
Wet paths and seasonal conditions
Stone, narrow passages and steps around the cave may be wet. Wear shoes with grip, protect your phone from spray and ask in advance about a suitable stroller or wheelchair route. Keep to the upper park if that better fits your needs. Water flow can vary with seasonal and daily conditions; older photographs of strong flow do not guarantee the same view on your day.
