Dim River (Dim Çayı)
Dim Çayı
A cool river valley flowing down from the Taurus Mountains, with waterside platform restaurants built over the river. You can eat grilled trout while soaking your feet in the water.
The Dim River rises in the Taurus Mountains and flows through the eastern outskirts of Alanya to the sea. In the middle of the valley are many restaurants with tables and chairs built over the river. In summer, visitors eat grilled trout and Turkish breakfast on the platforms, cooling their feet in the icy river water. You can also go kayaking or rafting. The Dim Dam is located upstream. It is about 12 kilometers from the city center, so you can take a taxi or join a half-day tour that includes Dim Cave. Weekends in summer are crowded.
Opening hours
