More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from the minibus into a canyon smell—wet stone, pine resin and river spray—while the Dalaman River, anciently called Indos, threads sunlight into froth below. The rafts sit ready on trailers; guides fit helmets and grin like people who read the current well. The first hour is road and breakfast, the second is changing into suits and a short off-road ride to the launch.
