More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start the day before dawn in Antalya, the air still carrying the salt and citrus of the Mediterranean, as the minivan threads east toward the Taurus Mountains. By mid-morning the canyon opens up: vertical limestone walls, scrub pines, and the Köprüçay river daring you into its rapids. The 12 km rafting stretch runs through geology carved over millennia—limestone strata, boulder chutes and narrow gorges that funnel the water into lively grade II–III waves.
