About this audio guide
This guide to the Manavgat Waterfall near Antalya opens with an unlikely fact: from 1968 to 1983, this wide cascade appeared on Turkey's five-lira banknote. It traces the Manavgat River's course down from the Taurus Mountains, the ancient name the Greeks gave it, and its long relationship with the nearby port city of Side. Listen for how the sound of the falls announces them before you arrive.
