A picture-perfect bay

The valley opens onto a shingle bay with turquoise water, surrounded by rock walls several hundred metres high. At the back of the valley there is a small waterfall.

Where the name comes from

In summer the shady valley is home to many butterflies, including the Jersey tiger, a moth with orange wings. The valley is a protected area.

How to get there

The easiest way is by boat from Ölüdeniz. Many coastal boat trips stop here. A steep path also leads down from the village of Faralya, but it is only suitable for sure-footed hikers.

Good to know

  • Wear sturdy shoes for the walk to the waterfall.
  • Facilities in the valley are basic, so bring water and snacks.
  • We can arrange the boat trip and the ride to Ölüdeniz.
