MANAVGAT WATERFALL

The Manavgat River, which originates from the eastern slopes of the Western Taurus Mountains, flows into the Mediterranean through the gorge in the Sorgun region and is fed by large underground water sources. With a length of 93 km, it forms the Manavgat Waterfall, cascading about 5 meters
down the cliffs.
The Managat River is home to many species of fish and birds (trout, carp, mullet, sea bass, blackfish, moorhen, duck, goose, kingfisher, various types of herons, seagulls, etc.). It also features rich vegetation, including many tree species such as willow, plane, poplar, mulberry, and hackberry.
