The Experience

Before You Go

Timing for cooler water

Book an early-morning departure to avoid high sun and stronger afternoon currents on the river.

Footwear that stays on

Wear closed-toe, quick-dry shoes with a secure heel — flip-flops soak and slip during rafting and buggy sections.

Hydration and light snacks

Carry a reusable water bottle and a small snack; you'll need energy between high-adrenaline segments.

Medical restrictions

This itinerary is not suitable for pregnant travelers or those with serious heart/back conditions — disclose medical issues during booking.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Old Roman bridges upstream from the main raft put-in that make quiet photo stops
  • Small riverside cafes near the park entrance offering freshly brewed Turkish tea and gözleme

Wildlife

  • Common ravens and kestrels circling canyon thermals
  • Mediterranean tortoises and occasional otters along quieter river stretches

Conservation Note

Köprülü Canyon is a protected national park — operators must follow park rules to limit bank erosion and litter; stay on designated paths and avoid disturbing nesting birds.

The Köprülü (Köprüçay) corridor has been a local transit route since antiquity; Roman-era bridges and archaeological sites dot nearby valleys.
