The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe water shoes

Traction on wet rocks and secure footing in rafts and on ATVs matters — flip-flops aren’t safe.

Pack a small dry bag

Keep phone, ID, and a light layer dry for the raft and zipline transfer.

Bring cash for lunch extras

Lunch at Rapido Restaurant is included, but drinks or snacks at stops may require cash.

Know the age limits

Children under 7 can ride the transfer but may not participate in activities; confirm ages at booking.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • The Roman-era Oluk (Arched) bridge just above the put-in — quiet for photos early morning
  • Riverside pools downstream from the lunch spot where guides often point out freshwater turtles and local flora

Wildlife

  • Bonelli’s eagle and other raptors circling the cliffs
  • Occasional otters or river turtles in calmer pools

Conservation Note

Köprülü Canyon is a protected national park; visitors should stick to marked paths, avoid littering, and follow guide instructions to minimize erosion and disturbance to wildlife.

The gorge contains traces of antiquity — stone bridges and old mountain tracks attest to centuries of movement between inland Anatolia and the Mediterranean coast.
