A Quiet Corner of Peace Among Monumental Trees
Ascended from Finike and located very close to the Arykanda Ancient City, Ördübek Plateau is a wide meadow area surrounded by massive cedar trees. One of the quietest plateaus in Antalya, Ördübek is known for its landscape that resembles a painting. The plateau takes its name from the wild ducks that frequent the local wetlands. It is ideal for those who want to get away from the crowds and feel the serenity of nature.
A Natural Botanical Park
The most important element that makes Ördübek Plateau special is that the surrounding forests host thousands-of-years-old cedars with "Monumental Tree" status. Small ponds on the plateau and the colorful flowers around them transform this place into a botanical park. In the region where traditional highland culture still continues, the hospitality of the local people and the simplicity of natural life fascinate visitors.
