The Waterfall773 viewsThe Kursunlu Waterfall is on a tributary of the Aksu, the major river of Antalya Province. We were lucky to see it in springtime; it's reported that it dries to a trickle in the summer.

No Swimming740 viewsHaving a picnic here by the waterside was also a no-no. But since we had already enjoyed our lunch on the nearby picnic ground provided by the park, it didn't matter to us.

Camel Rides692 viewsIn this case the "ride" was limited to sitting on the camel, which remained motionless, and having your picture taken. We would have to wait until we went to Morocco, many years later, to take a real camel ride.
