Your route is empty. You can plan your journey by searching for the cities or spots you want to explore.

The first destination will be Köprülü Canyon, one of Türkiye’s most famous national parks and a popular destination for outdoor adventure. The canyon is located in the Manavgat district of Antalya, and it is approximately one hour away from the district centre. The most suitable time for rafting is in the morning due to the increased water flow and lower crowds. 

You can go rafting on the Köprüçay River in the canyon during the early hours of the day. The canyon is carved by this river, which flows through high cliffs, lush forests, and ancient Roman bridges. While rafting, you will pass beneath one of these bridges, the 2000-year-old Oluk Bridge. 

Take a short break here to explore this ancient bridge and capture photos of the unique scenery created by the perfect blend of the river and green nature. After experiencing rafting in Köprülü Canyon, spend the rest of the day enjoying a picnic and feeling the peaceful atmosphere of nature. 

Nature lovers will also observe wildlife and take photographs of the unique scenery. You can rest for the next day by spending the night at the campsite within the canyon.

The next day, you will explore both Köprülü Canyon and the nearby Tazı Canyon. Start your day with a delightful breakfast at the campsite in the Köprülü Canyon National Park. 

Visitors who can’t get enough of rafting can enjoy an early morning rafting session on the Köprüçay River. Then, you can head to Tazı Canyon, also known as Eagle Canyon. Although this canyon is not suitable for rafting, it offers excellent hiking trails for trekking and is one of the best locations for ziplining with its unique scenery. 

First, you can choose a walking trail and enjoy trekking through the area. With its rocky terrain, it is a unique location for outdoor sports enthusiasts. The rich biodiversity of the canyon offers a wonderful experience for visitors interested in nature observation and birdwatching

After trekking in the canyon, you can take a zipline to admire the canyon’s stunning scenery, where shades of brown and green blend beautifully. Ziplining, one of the most enjoyable experiences in the canyon, will make your nature getaway an unforgettable memory.
