Do

You can walk down barefooted in the waterfalls from the village on top. The place is crowded when the tour-buses arrive.

If you stay at one of the small pensions they might give you a tour of the ruins and travertines at night.

It is worth seeing the remains of the ancient city of Aphrodisias. You can rent a van to get there.
