The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a small dry bag

Electronics and essentials should ride in a buoyant, sealed dry bag—rafts and river spray are constant.

Wear secure, grippy footwear

Closed-toe water shoes or trail sandals with straps work for rafting and transition to the quads and jeeps.

Protect against the sun

High-elevation sun and reflective water exposure make SPF, a hat, and polarized sunglasses important.

Charge before pickup

Phone batteries drain fast with photo and video use—bring a power bank; guides usually provide pro photos for sale.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ancient Roman bridge near the rafting start—quick viewpoint for photos
  • A quiet riverside picnic shelf downstream of the main rapids, often missed between groups

Wildlife

  • Griffon vulture (soaring along canyon thermals)
  • Wild boar (in higher, quieter slopes)

Conservation Note

Köprülü Canyon is a protected national park—operators follow regulated rafting corridors and visitors are asked to pack out trash, avoid disturbing riverbanks, and respect seasonal vegetation.

The canyon area contains Roman-era crossings and sits near ancient settlements that used the river as a trade and transit corridor; remnants of stonework are visible near trailheads.
