Samandere Waterfall (Turkish: Samandere Şelalesi) is a waterfall in Düzce Province, northwestern Turkey. It is the first ever registered natural monument of the country.
The waterfall is located in Samandere village of Beyköy district, 24 km (15 mi) southeast of Düzce. It is 15 km (9.3 mi) far from Beyköy, 26 km (16 mi) from the state highway D.100 and 20 km (12 mi) from the motorway O.4.[1] The road to the waterfall on a length of 15 km (9.3 mi) was widened and asphalted for easy access in 2015.[2]
In 2016, the municipality of Düzce launched free-of-charge transportation by bus to the waterfall from the city center on daily basis during the summer months.[3]
