Gelintülü Waterfall

Gelintülü Şelalesi

The 'Bride's Veil' waterfall at the entrance to Ayder village, cascading in tiers down a high cliff. It is the first sight you see on arriving in the village.

Gelintülü means 'bride's veil.' The waterfall sits on a cliff near the entrance to the Ayder Plateau. The slender stream drops in several tiers and is often half-hidden by cloud in summer. From the village center, it is about a 10-minute walk along the road to the viewing platform, where a teahouse lets you watch the falls. It makes a perfect photo stop on the way into Ayder, and you don't need to plan a special trip for it.
