What is it? Beyond the touristic appeal of this 18 kilometre-long geological marvel, the Saklıkent Canyon (also known as the Saklıkent National Park) is a popular destination amongst locals and neighbouring communities as a place for relaxation and recreation. An absolute masterpiece of nature, the canyon walls range between 200 to 600 metres high, and as narrow as only 2 metres.
Why go? If you're an avid hiker with a penchant for adventure, a visit to Saklıkent is an absolute must. Your journey through the canyon will take you along boardwalks, rocky trails, and through sections of a shallow river, all surrounded by magnificent, towering cliffs. Water shoes will be your best friend on this visit, so don’t forget to pack a pair or rent some on-site.
