About Su Uçuran Şelalesi

Su Uçuran Şelalesi, also known as Turgutlar Şelalesi or Suuçan Şelalesi, is a waterfall in the hills where Menemen, Aliağa and Manisa meet, about 7 km from the Turgutlar neighbourhood of Menemen. According to Menemen Municipality, the İbrim Deresi stream drops from a height of about 40 metres here, and the waterfall can be reached from Turgutlar in Menemen, Karakuzu in Aliağa and Türkmen village in Manisa. The final approach is on footpaths, which makes access harder, and the spot is popular for picnics, especially in spring. The İzmir Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism lists an official walking route from Çukurköy to the waterfall: 7.6 km on earth tracks and footpaths, rated medium, taking about 3 to 4 hours on foot, with November to April as the recommended season. OpenStreetMap maps both a larger and a smaller Su Uçuran fall a short distance apart on the stream.
