The Experience

Before You Go

Wear secure water footwear

Closed-toe water shoes with grippy soles reduce slipping during canyon moves and on raft decks.

Bring a dry bag

Keep a spare dry shirt, phone in a waterproof case, and any medications sealed in a small dry bag for the lunch break.

Know your limits on jumps

Guides will offer jump options—start small and scout pools before attempting higher drops to avoid submerged hazards.

Hydrate and salt-replace

Cold water hides exertion—drink before and after activities and consider an electrolyte snack at lunch.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ancient Roman bridge access point with quieter river shelves for photos
  • Short side trail to a small waterfall upstream from main rapids—good for a brief rest

Wildlife

  • Tortoises along sun-warmed riverbanks
  • Raptors—short-toed eagles and kestrels hunting canyon thermals

Conservation Note

The canyon is protected as a national park and operators emphasize leave-no-trace practices; stick to marked access points and avoid leaving waste by the river.

The Köprüçay corridor has been a transport and farming corridor since Roman times; masonry bridges and ruins mark ancient routes through the gorge.
