Full-Day Rafting, Canyoning & Zipline in Köprülü Canyon from Alanya
Ride Class II–III rapids, scramble narrow slots, and fly across a canyon in one full day from Alanya. This combined rafting, canyoning and zipline trip showcases Köprülü Canyon’s dramatic cliffs, Roman bridge and clear river pools.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear secure water shoes
Closed-toe water shoes or old trail shoes give traction on wet rocks and protect toes during canyoning sections.
Bring a small dry bag
Keep your phone, wallet and medications in a compact dry bag—guides have limited space for personal items.
Hydrate and eat before pickup
It’s a long day with active sections; a good breakfast and steady hydration make the rafting easier and safer.
Time for photos at the Roman bridge
Plan extra minutes at the riverside Roman bridge; it’s a stable photo stop with easier footing than cliff edges.
