The Experience

Before You Go

Bring sturdy water shoes

Riverbed terrain and canyoning demand closed-toe shoes with good traction to protect feet on slick rocks.

Pack a small dry bag

Keep phone, spare clothes, and snacks in a waterproof pouch for the rafting section and lunch break.

Know your swimming limits

You’ll need to swim short stretches and float through rapids—let guides know if you’re uncomfortable in deep water.

Start early to avoid midday heat

Morning departures reduce sun exposure on the river and often mean calmer conditions for zipline and canyoning.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Walk to the small Roman bridge alcove off the main viewpoint for a quieter photo spot
  • A shaded river cove downstream where guides often stop for a quieter swim and snack away from main groups

Wildlife

  • Bonelli's eagle (often seen soaring above the gorge)
  • Eurasian otter or other river mammals around dawn and dusk

Conservation Note

Köprülü Canyon is a national park; operators emphasize leave-no-trace practices and limits on group sizes to reduce erosion and disturbance to riparian habitats.

The canyon area preserves Roman-era engineering, including a surviving bridge that marked an ancient crossing used by traders and local communities for centuries.
