Where to swim in a mountain river near Antalya?

A traveler was looking for a lesser-known mountain river for swimming near Antalya — no specific names were mentioned, but the search direction is the mountainous areas surrounding the city.

Antalya's wastewater treatment facilities are located closer to the mountains rather than near the sea — good news for those planning to swim in coastal waters.

Beldibi is the closest mountain coastal area to Antalya where you can swim right at the foot of cliffs. The view from the water toward the mountains is stunning. Downside: in September the sun disappears from the beach early due to the mountain shadow.

In Beldibi there are two Rixos hotels: the smaller Rixos (very close to the mountain, maximum effect of swimming 'under the cliff') and Rixos Sungate (slightly further from the mountain, but still beautiful views). Both suit those who love mountain scenery by the water.
