Starting Point at Koprulu Canyon

Your day kicks off at Koprulu Canyon, one of Turkey’s most scenic natural spots. The setting is peaceful, with lush greenery and the sound of rushing water. This is where your adventure begins—by donning your equipment and meeting your guides, who are there to ensure everyone feels safe and has fun.

The canyoning section lasts roughly 1.5 hours, where you’ll walk through narrow passages, climb over rocks, and slide down into crystal-clear waters. The canyon’s beauty is striking—steep walls, lush vegetation, and the cool water provide a perfect backdrop for an active morning. As one reviewer noted, “Loved the canyoning and rafting. Our guide Omar was fantastic full of humor, whilst making you feel safe.” Expect to be encouraged but also guided carefully through the terrain, especially if you’re a first-timer.

The 2000-Year-Old Eurymedon Bridge and Scenic Walk

After dripping wet from canyoning, you’ll have the opportunity to walk or swim under the ancient Eurymedon Bridge, which is over 2000 years old. This marks a cool historical highlight, blending natural beauty with a touch of history. The 700-meter trek along the river offers spectacular views, and guides often emphasize the significance of this ancient structure, making it a memorable photo stop.

While some might wish for more walking time in the canyon, the blend of walking, swimming, and sightseeing keeps the pace lively. One traveler remarked, “The canyoning was amazing, but I was hoping we’d spend more time walking through the canyon.” Still, the combination allows for a well-rounded experience—adventure and cultural appreciation.

Guides like Omar, mentioned in multiple reviews, do a great job of giving clear instructions while keeping the mood lively. One review states, “The rafting was such a fun surreal experience. The guides provided great banter and laughs throughout.” If you’re lucky, you might even get a quick land stop for some flowers or scenic photos, adding a peaceful moment amidst the rapid-fire fun.
