Cydnos Waterfall
Today the waterfall is valued highly by the local population, especially during the hot summer months. During the spring and autumn months the increased water flow of the river (138 m³/ second), generates a pleasant little lake to the west of the falls and results in stunning view of the falls. Because of its characteristics the Arabs named the river ‘El-Baradan. The name comes to us today in the form of Berdan. The river is supposed to bring health, however some people have developed problems because of the river. An example of this is Alexander the Great who is said to have bathed here, developed pneumonia and shortly afterwards died in Syria. The Caliph Memun did the similar thing and met the same fate, he was a result buried in Tarsus.
