The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive ready to get wet

Wear quick-dry clothing and secure water shoes—you’ll be in and out of the raft and cold river current can catch you off guard.

Protect electronics

Use a waterproof phone case or dry bag; photos are tempting but electronics don’t do well in rapids.

Tell guides about injuries

If you have back or neck issues, notify staff—some elements like buggy rides and rafting are not recommended for spinal problems.

Hydrate and pace

Bring a refillable water bottle and sip regularly—the day is long and elevation changes can dehydrate you quickly.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Walk to the old Ottoman Köprülü bridge upriver for quieter swimming holes
  • Stop at a roadside tea house in the mountain villages for gözleme and mountain-sourced tea

Wildlife

  • Loggerhead sea turtles (coast nearby, not in canyon)
  • Birds of prey like booted eagles and common buzzards

Conservation Note

The canyon is protected as a national park; visitors are asked to avoid littering, keep to trails near the gorge, and use biodegradable sunscreen to limit impact on river ecosystems.

The Köprüçay valley has been a travel corridor for centuries; Roman and Ottoman-era bridges and ruins along the river reflect the area’s historical role in regional trade and travel.
