The Experience

Before You Go

Bring water-ready footwear

Wear water shoes or secure sandals—grip matters on slippery river rocks and during raft entry/exit.

Reconfirm pickup 24 hours prior

Operator requires reconfirmation of pickup time and location to avoid cancellation.

Leave non-waterproof electronics behind

Only bring sealed cameras or phone cases—water and spray are guaranteed on the raft.

Reserve morning slots in summer

Book earlier departures to avoid peak heat and stronger afternoon winds on the zipline.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • A short riverside walk downstream from the main take-out reveals quiet pools and a Roman bridge for photos.
  • Ask the guides to point out nearby citrus terraces on the canyon rim — small village viewpoints offer expansive Mediterranean glimpses.

Wildlife

  • Kingfisher
  • Rock hyrax (small mammals often seen on canyon ledges)

Conservation Note

The canyon is part of a protected area; stick to marked paths, avoid leaving waste riverside, and follow guide instructions to minimize erosion and disturbance.

Köprüçay has been a transit corridor since antiquity—Roman roads and bridges cross the canyon, evidence of trade routes linking inland Anatolia to the coast.
