The Experience

Before You Go

Wear quick-dry layers

Choose synthetics that dry fast after rafting; cotton stays wet and chafes.

Secure valuables

Bring a waterproof phone case or leave electronics at the pickup—water and dust are constant companions.

Sturdy, closed shoes only

Use water shoes or cross-trainers with grip—no flip-flops allowed for safety on quads and rafts.

Hydrate before you start

Carry a small refillable bottle and drink early; mountain sun and activity add up quickly.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Stop at a roadside tea garden along Dimçayı for fresh tea and river-side snacks
  • Look for small village mosques and stone bridges on the drive for quick photo stops away from tourist crowds

Wildlife

  • Birds of prey (e.g., booted eagles) soaring over the ridgelines
  • Occasional wild boar or mountain goats in more remote slopes

Conservation Note

Stick to marked paths, avoid disturbing riverbanks, and pack out all waste — river ecosystems in the Taurus are sensitive to litter and sunscreen runoff.

The Taurus Mountains have long hosted small agrarian villages and caravan routes; limestone gorges carved by rivers have shaped local settlement and trade patterns for centuries.
