Conservation
Saklıkent’s fragile karst environment and Kaputaş’s dune-shelf habitat are sensitive to trampling and litter; stick to paths, avoid disturbing wildlife and carry out rubbish.

Begin in the morning to avoid mid-day heat in the canyon and secure better beach time at Kaputaş later in the day.

Avoid stepping on fragile plants and don’t leave trash in the canyon or on the beach — pack out what you pack in.
