Manavgat has astonishing natural beauties, Manavgat is surrounded by mountains which has many kinds of plants and the climate in summer time in Manavgat is very hot and the humidity level is high.
Manavgat is known by its beautiful nature and 2 main waterfalls, the big waterfall is 4 km away from Manavgat center and little one is just 2 km away. If you prefer to have a more silent place to rest and relax you would better prefer the little waterfall. But of course the big waterfall of Manavgat is also worth to see!

Except waterfalls of Manavgat there are many beauties which is worth to see in Manavgat, like vast sandy beaches, rivers, gardens... So what else we can do in Manavgat ? If you have time you can go for jeep safari, rafting and I think market place (in Turkish pazar) of Manavgat can be interesting for you to visit. You can find very delicious and fresh summer fruits there.
