Güvercinlik Şelalesi

About Güvercinlik Şelalesi

Güvercinlik Şelalesi, also called the Hisarlık waterfall, lies on the Hisarlık Yaylası upland in the mountains of Bayındır, about 200 metres from the road. Visit İzmir, the official tourism guide of İzmir Metropolitan Municipality, names Hisarlık and Güvercinlik Şelalesi among the places not to miss in Bayındır. Walnut and oak trees grow on the slope above the fall, with vineyards and cherry orchards around it, and the natural rock shapes collect the water into a small pond, so the cascade is at its best when the flow is high. Visit İzmir also points walkers to trails in the mountain areas of the Alankıyı, Çınardibi, Hisarlık and Ovacık uplands. The İzmir Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism lists an official 10.7 km route from Hisarlık to Ovacık in Kemalpaşa, rated medium to hard and taking about 5 to 6 hours, recommended from March to November.
