Spend a day trading Antalya’s coast for the cliffs and cold currents of Köprülü Canyon. This full-day rafting trip pairs accessible whitewater with canyon scenery, riverside Turkish lunch, and expert guides.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Early light hits the limestone walls of Köprülü Canyon and the river answers with a cold, clean slap—water that seems to have a purpose, pushing the boat forward. You meet your guide at a small riverside launch, swap city air for the scent of pine and wet stone, and step into helmets and lifejackets supplied by the crew. For the next stretch you’re negotiating riffles and pockets of calmer water beneath sheer cliffs that rise like pages of geological history.
