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.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • A quiet riverside lunch spot below the Roman bridge for clearer water and fewer swimmers
  • A short riverside walk to lookout points above the canyon for panoramic photos away from the main launch area

Wildlife

  • tortoises
  • kingfishers

Conservation Note

Operators emphasize Leave No Trace on river banks; stay on guided routes to avoid trampling sensitive riparian vegetation and nesting sites.

The Köprüçay valley has been a movement corridor since antiquity; the surviving Roman bridge marks an ancient transit route that predates modern roads.
