Manavgat

Attractive mosque with four minarets, in traditional style but built in stages from 2004.

Critics of samey, ticky-tacky Turkish architecture, prepare to eat your words: this house has been carefully constructed upside-down. Most visitors just take a photo of the exterior but you can pay to go inside, though it won't amuse you longer than ten minutes.

The falls are only 3 m high, but the river is broad and has a strong flow, so there's a thundering white curtain. You view them from the west bank, preferably morning as the area gets congested later with visitors craning for photos. Or come at night when the falls are floodlit. Lots of cafes, kitsch and tourist traps nearby. The falls were depicted on the reverse of an old 5 TL banknote, withdrawn in 1983.
